. 1Survey . Evelyn BEDFORDSH I RE BEDFORDSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL PLANNING DEPARTMENT CONSERVATION SECTION AND ARCHAFOLOGICAL.FIELD TEAM !. David Baker. _ :During 1979, survey work:has oontinued on all.fronts.- The archeeological_parieh programme is detailed separately, and'hes"now covered 71 Pariehee. SOMe inalytidal,earthwork survey and drawing hae been carried out on selected site's. Listed, building resurvey in North Bedfordshire is continuing elowlY, and acceleratiOn_is still:prevented by the pressure of casework. The DE hae nOw issUed the revised List for the fOrmer Sandy Urban District, and that for the former South Bedfordshire Rural District is 'imminent.. Excavation has taken place on three sites. Grove Priory has continued' more or less without interruption, except by winter weather and other'small'projects. .A 'site in Midland Road, Bedford was briefly examined in August, and a trial trench excavated at_Sharpenhoe Clappers in October. . 'It has been'a good year for post-excavation and publication. After several years' preparation, the monograph on 'Excavations in Bedford 1967-,77' has been published, eliminating the whole of the county town backlog in one sweep-up to 1977. The first volume in the-projected of Bedfordshire', in co-operation with the Royal Commission on Historic Monuments (England) was also produced, in December. It is a subject volume, 'BriOkmaking, a History and.Gazetteer', by Alan"Cox. Post-excavation ' work On'Odell is continuing steadily, and the-completion of the Level,III 'report is in sight. .Post-excavation'work'on the 1974' Warden Abbey excavations'has also ihroWn new light on'the floor tiles: Baker read a paper on some preliminary observations at the'Rotterdam Conference in October. The Limoges medieval,travelling pricket candlestick from Grove Priory was exhibited at the winter CBA Council meeting in London. Sites and Monuments Record development continues, with 10,100 items now acoe-6sed. There have been several staff changes. The Manpower Services Commission's STEP schemes were in operation throughout the year. Richard Thomas and Alison Allden have left for Devon and Robert White began a year's secondment on the Oxford University/DoE In-Service Training Scheme. Our colleague in Bedford Museum, Jane Hassell, left to become Curator of Ancient House Museum in Thetford. Stephen Coleman has joined us on parish survey from the Trent Valley, as well as Alison Bennet from Trondheim as a temporary replacement for Robert White. Sally Tabrett has joined the permanent Field Team as Finds Assistant, and Bob Mustoe as Field Supervisor, both on completion of STEP employment. Penny Spencer is the new Archaeological Officer in North Bedfordshire Borough Council's Museum. - -2-
BEDFORDSHIRE PARISH SURVEY - Angela Simco, Robert White, Stephen Coleman, Alison Bennett and others, Bedfordshire County Council and DoE The Bedfordshire parish survey programme, begun in 1975, involves checking basic documentary sOurces, carrying out fieldwork, updating the Bedfordshire Sites and Monuments Record, and preparing a summary essay with maps. The aim is: to identify new sites and features; to checkthe condition of known sites; to rationalise information already in the Sites and Monuments Record, and to provide a general_ background historyfor each parish and its landscape. .As the bulk of the source material is documentary, and detailed fieldwalking is not undertaken, the survey is of necessity biased towards the medieval and post-medieval periods. At the'end of 1979, 71 modern parishes had been covered, out of a county total of 124. Work has concentrated on rural parishes, beginning in the north of the county. Most of the area of North Bedfordshire Borough has been covered, with a large part of Mid Bedfordshire District. Parishes in South Bedfordshire District will be started soon. The twelve historic towns, of which the basic historical development was studied by Annette Edwards in 1974, will be dealt with towards the end of the survey programme. SHARPENHOE CLAPPERS, STREATLEY, Bedfordshire (TL 066 302) - Brian Dix, Bedfordshire County Council and DoE Sharpenhoe Clappers occupies a north-facing promontory of the Chilterns, and today consists of a beech plantation which is also a nature reserve and recréation area in the ownership of the National Trust. Both promontory and plantation are delimited on the south by a bank which runs across the neck of /and, with a' break along its middle course. This has traditionally been taken as evidence'that the site was an Iron Age hillfort. The trees were first planted in the early. 19th Century and make the site a prominent and attractive landmark, so the National Trust is embarking upon a replanting programme. In view of this it seemed desirable to establish whether the site in fact was that of a hillfort, and, if so, to determine the degree of preservation which might be expected within its interior. A trial trench excavated through the bank revealed the remains of a medieval rabbit warren which had been built over an Iron Age palisade trench and other possibly contemporary remains. Some geophysical work will be carried out in an attempt to resolve some of the problems raised by the excavation.results and to assist the determination of further paicy. LIBERAL CLUB, MIDLAND ROAD, BEDFORD (TL 048 498) - David Baker, Bedfordshire County Council and DoE Small scale trial excavations were carried out by Robert White 'and Richard Thomas in August 1979 in advance of development.
