Abstract: |
The fieldwork comprised the excavation of twenty-nine 40m long by 1.8m wide
trenches, as well as one 15m long by 1.8m wide trench (Trench 1) and one 26.5m
long by 1.8m wide trench (Trench 13). In November 2017, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation of Land
off Bedford Road, Lower Stondon, Hertfordshire. The evaluation, which was commissioned
by Orion Heritage Limited, acting on behalf of Barratt David Wilson North Thames comprised
the excavation of thirty-one trenches.
A single undated ditch was recorded in Trench 23 and the remains of the former Bedford to
Hitchin Branch railway line, bisecting the site on a northeast to southwest alignment, were
recorded in Trenches 14, 19, and 17. Four trenches (Trenches 31, 33, 34, and 35) were not
excavated due to on site constraints and Trenches 1 and 13 were adjusted in order to
adhere to the appropriate buffer zones for overhead services. Aside from remains
associated with the former railway line and an undated ditch no features or deposits of
archaeological interest were observed during the evaluation and only a small number of
artefacts were recovered from the overburden. |
