Introduction
In November 2014, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation on land off Main Street Tingewick, Buckinghamshire.
Cropmarks of possible prehistoric date are known to the north of the site, and a possible Roman villa has been recorded c. 200m to the north-west. Aerial photographic evidence indicates that the site contained medieval ridge and furrow earthworks until the 1960s, and a geophysical survey of the site recorded below-ground traces of the ploughed-out furrow bases. The site appears to have remained undeveloped agricultural/pastoral land in the post medieval and modern eras.
The archaeological evaluation results displayed a strong correspondence with the geophysical survey results. The only archaeological features found to pre-date the modern era were the ploughed-out remains of a medieval ridge and furrow agricultural system, indicating that the site has been in agricultural/pastoral use since at least the medieval era. There was no evidence for any earlier activity at the site.
