Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology Ltd conducted an evaluation at a proposed development area (PDA) off Vandyke Rd, Hockliffe Road and Stanbridge Road east of Leighton-Linslade in order to provide further information on the archaeological potential of the PDA. The work was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd. A total of fifty six trenches were excavated in the PDA in areas not targeted by the previous phase of trenching. The trenching identified sub-surface remains of medieval ridge and furrow and a small number of other, potentially archaeological features including postholes marking fencelines, ditches and a two possible though undated pits. The presence of ridge and furrow cultivation confirms that the site was part of the medieval and postmedieval agricultural land east of Leighton Buzzard, whilst the limited nature of earlier features and very sparse amounts of pottery recovered from these features indicates that the site was also peripheral to settlements in those earlier periods. |
