Abstract:		 In order to investigate the archaeological potential of a proposed new residential development located on land to the rear of 54 High Street, Arlesey, Bedfordshire, the Heritage Network was commissioned by the developer to undertake a programme of evaluation by trial trenching. A previous Heritage Statement identified a Low risk of encountering remains dating from the prehistoric, Roman and Anglo-Saxon periods, and a Moderate risk for the medieval and post-medieval periods (Phillips 2015). A single trench was excavated, which revealed a considerable depth of overburden, suggesting that the present site has been subject to significant disturbance in the post-medieval and modern periods. A single feature was encountered at the south-western end of the trench, which contained a compact clay fill. A length of modern cable was recovered from the fill. Evidence from archaeological investigations on the west side of High Street suggests that this feature may represent a former extraction pit, possibly related to the local brick-making industry, which has subsequently silted up. No evidence for any features or deposits pre-dating the post-medieval period was recorded. On the basis of the results of the evaluation, the risk that the proposed development might have a negative impact on remains of archaeological significance may be considered to be Low for all periods pre-dating the post-medieval period.
