An Iron Age pit and post medieval features on the route of the Kings Reach Growth Scheme pipeline, Biggleswade

Oxford Archaeology East carried out archaeological works in advance of the construction of a new rising main, which now links the Kings Reach development to the existing treatment works. This work resulted in the discovery of a single middle Iron Age pit, along with a medieval quarry pit and several post-medieval ditches and trackways. The work also showed that the new pipe would not have an adverse impact on the known Bronze Age barrow, located within the existing treatment works.
