Abstract:		 At Old Wolverton, the Grand Union Canal crosses the valley of the River Great Ouse on an embankment and aqueduct. A temporary canal (with locks) was built so that the waterway could still be used while the aqueduct was under construction. Albion Archaeology was commissioned by Milton Keynes Council to undertake an archaeological evaluation of the line of the, now infilled, temporary canal on the southern side of the river valley. The purpose of the evaluation was to help inform an interpretation project on this component of Milton Keynes'' industrial heritage. The Milton Keynes Archaeological Officer specified that the archaeological evaluation should comprise earthwork survey and trial excavation. The earthwork survey was undertaken to map and interpret surviving above ground elements of the temporary canal. It was possible to subdivide the site into two areas: an embanked section of canal on the valley side, and a cut section on the valley floor.The results of the earthwork survey were used to formulate a trenching strategy. This investigation was undertaken . Initially, Trenches 1-4 focused on the lock and associated basin in the embanked section of the canal. During a second phase of investigation Trenches 2 and 4 were extended and three additional trenches were used to test other elements of the canal earthworks.
