Abstract: |
Archaeological investigations were undertaken during November 2005 by Albion Archaeology in advance of a new access route, associated with the Bletchley Landfill site. The site comprised the area of a proposed roundabout and is located to the south-west of Bletchley. An area of c. 0.2ha was mechanically stripped of topsoil and subsoil under archaeological supervision. Following the removal of the overburden the area was subsequently examined for archaeological remains. Any sub-surface features encountered were subjected to hand excavation in order to ascertain their nature and date. A small range of archaeological features were recovered comprising a pit, two postholes, six tree-throw holes and two furrows. The pit and postholes occurred towards the centre of the site within an area of 10m. Some of the features contained charcoal flecks and one contained a broken flint flake. However, while they may be broadly contemporary and could be associated with the flint scatter identified during fieldwalking, the absence of firm dating evidence makes this uncertain. |
