Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation of land at Oakgrove, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire (centred on NGR SP 880 387) was commissioned by White Green Young Consulting Limited on behalf of English Partnerships. The work was undertaken by Birmingham Archaeology in April 2006. Sixteen trenches were excavated to locate and identify any archaeological remains that could be affected by the proposed development. An earlier desk-based assessment conducted by Birmingham Archaeology in 2003 (Nichol 2003) concluded that whilst much of the site had been subject to quarrying and subsequent landfill, the potential for the survival of archaeological deposits outside the quarry boundary was good. Previous archaeological work conducted during quarrying in the 1970s and 1980s located evidence of settlement and activity dated to the Bronze Age, Iron Age and Saxon periods to the east of the current site. Subsequent evaluation, prior to this phase of work, determined that the northern and western extents of these settlements was unclear. The recent evaluation confirmed that settlement proper did not extend onto the river terrace (beyond the extent of the quarry in this area). Early features included a pit and gully, which could not be firmly dated; the flints that they contained were a mixed assemblage representing a background scatter of material. The pit may be evidence of clay extraction on the site. Later features included medieval ridge and furrow and stone-lined field drains, as well as Post-medieval pits.
