An Archaeological Evaluation: Land at Dairy Farm South, Willington, Bedfordshire

Abstract

A team from Cambridge Archaeological Unit undertook evaluation by trial trenching in September 2005 on 28.4 ha of land east of Bedford, between Renhold (north) and Willington (south), centred at TL 115 505. The evaluation followed initial investigations by geophysical survey and was designed to determine the presence or absence, extent, date, state of preservation and significance of any subsoil archaeological features. The evaluation was commissioned by Lafarge Aggregates Ltd and the Written Scheme of Investigation was drafted by Archaeologica Ltd. Evidence for prehistoric activity was identified across the landscape in the form of negative features and artefacts.
