Abstract:		 In September 2010 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out a programme of archaeological observation, investigation, recording, analysis and publication at No. 2 St Andrew's Close, Ampthill, Bedfordshire (NGR TL 03751 38270). The archaeological programme was carried out in compliance with a planning condition on approval for an extension (CBC Planning Approval Ref. CB/09/06907/FULL). The site lies within the historic core of the town and may be within the limits of the Saxon and medieval towns. It lies close to St Andrew's Church, which probably overlies an earlier building. Two ditches, F1004 and F1007, were recorded. The pottery derived from the ditches is abraded and might be judged residual. Also late medieval - post-medieval (14th - 18th century) CBM was recovered from Ditch F1007. Conversely five conjoining sherds were found in Ditch F1004 and the pottery from the ditches and unstratified material is consistently early medieval. Ditch F1004 was the larger of the two ditches and was possibly a boundary ditch. Ditch F1007 was possibly a drainage ditch. The ditches were broadly perpendicular, but as St Andrew's Close is a modern road, it is difficult to attach a significance to their alignment.
