Leagrave is a former village and now a suburb of Luton in Bedfordshire in the northwest of the town. Due to its 35-minute connection by train from Leagrave station into London it is home to significant numbers of commuters. Leagrave station also has connections to Bedford in the north and Brighton in the south by Thameslink. Junctions 11 and 12 of the M1 are close at hand as well as Luton Airport.
History
The first settlement in the area was Waulud's Bank which is a Neolithic D-shaped enclosure in Leagrave Park at the source of the River Lea and is now a protected monument. Waulud's bank consists of a bank and external ditch of around 7 hectares with a turf reveted chalk and gravel bank (built from the excavated ditch material). The ditch itself is about 9 m wide and 2 m deep. Finds at the site have included neolithic Grooved Ware and flint arrow heads. It is a similar site to Durrington Walls and Marden and the site was later re-used in the Iron Age and during the Roman occupation.
