Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey, covering approximately 27 hectares north-east of Flitwick, Bedfordshire, to inform planning proposals relating to land west of Maulden Road and south of the A507. One localised area of archaeological activity (AAA) has been identified towards the west of the proposed development area (PDA). This comprises a small sub-square enclosure, within which is a probable ring ditch, with a possible second enclosure immediately to the west. Associated anomalies of possible archaeological origin are also identified in the immediate vicinity of the enclosures. Linear anomalies indicative of recent agricultural activity including former field boundaries, ridge and furrow and modern ploughing and field drains are located throughout the PDA. Anomalies locating four areas of former small-scale extraction are also identified. Based on the results of the geophysical survey the archaeological potential of the PDA is assessed as low but medium to high in the AAA. |
