Abstract:		 In order to characterise the archaeological potential of the site of a proposed new development on land at The Chequers, Church Road, Pulloxhill, Bedfordshire, the Heritage Network was commissioned by the owner to undertake an archaeological field evaluation by trial trenching. This work was a requirement of the planning consent granted by the local planning authority. Three trenches were excavated across the site, revealing a number of cut features comprising fivequarry pits and a feature of natural origin. All of the pits contained dateable finds, including sherds of post-medieval and modern pottery, clay pipe, animal bone, glass and post-medieval CBM. The features have been interpreted as late post-medieval backfilled quarry pits. However due to the presence of possible kiln wasters within the fills and the sheer number of tiles present, it is possible that the site may have been used in tile production during the early post-medieval period before being used as a quarry. On the basis of the results of the evaluation, the risk that the proposed development might disturb archaeological remains may be considered to be Low for the prehistoric, Roman and high medieval periods. This rises to High for the post-medieval period, though the potential significance of such remains is considered to be Moderate.
