Abstract:
This report details the results of a trial trench evaluation undertaken in advance of developments on the land at Sutton Mill Road, Potton, Bedfordshire (NGR TL 21794 48987). The evaluation site is located to the immediate east of Sutton Mill road and covers an area of c.3ha. The archaeological fieldwork was carried out between the 2nd and 4th December 2019. Although not all the features uncovered contained datable finds assemblages, the principal result of the fieldwork was the identification of a series of post-medieval features. These included ditches, treethrows and the remains of a wall. Artefact assemblages recovered from the features suggest that they mainly relate to the use of the Sandy and Potton Private Railway, established in 1857 which crosses the site from east to west. It is also possible that the features uncovered relate to the later route of the Sandy and Potton Line, which was moved slightly to the north of the site in 1861 when the railway was incorporated into the Bedford to Cambridge line, before the line was closed and tracks removed in 1968.
