Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation, comprising a total of 16 trial trenches was undertaken in July - August 2006 on land at Warrington Road, Olney, Milton Keynes. The evaluation revealed archaeological features in five of the trenches. The earliest dated feature was a backfilled possible quarry which contained Anglo-Saxon pottery and a residual late Roman coin. The majority of the features were truncated ditches and gullies which were remnants of field divisions predating those shown on the First Edition Ordnance Survey and there was a large backfilled pond. The concentration of features was low, which indicates that the area of the development lay beyond the immediate environs of the scheduled Romano-British settlement of Ashfurlong. It is possible that the stream at the base of the valley has formed a longstanding landscape boundary. Modern overburden was found in the southern part of the site due to the construct of the railway in the nineteenth century. |
