Abstract: |
The watching brief comprised the observation by a competent archaeologist of all
intrusive groundworks associated with the proposed development. These works
comprised the machine excavation of a geotechnical test pit (Trench 1), levelling the
footprint of the extension (Trench 2), the excavation of the footings (Trenches 3 and
4) and two soakaways (Trench 5 and 6). Between August and December 2022 Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological
watching brief during groundworks associated with the construction of a residential extension
at Caesar’s Camp, Caesar’s Lodge, Sandy, Bedfordshire.
The levelling of the extension footprint, footings, and soakaways were monitored, and one
possible pit was revealed. A sherd of Late Iron Age to Early Roman pottery was recovered
from this pit, together with a fragment of Middle to Late Iron Age pottery. An area of modern
truncation was exposed in the south-eastern corner of the footings, while four sherds of post-medieval to modern pottery were recovered from the remnant topsoil beneath the existing
modern drive. |
