Abstract:		 Albion Archaeology undertook the monitoring, investigation and recording during the excavation of contamination test pits at the scheduled ancient monument (known as Danesfield Camp in Medmenham, Buckinghamshire. It was recommended that a contamination survey be undertaken to identify potential hazardous material within the north-eastern corner of Danesfield Camp. Danesfield Camp is an Iron Age hillfort situated above a river cliff on the north bank of the Thames. The contamination survey comprised of ten machine-excavated test pits located within the north-eastern corner of the interior of the hillfort, plus a hand excavated test pit located within the north-eastern corner of the rampart ditch. In addition, ten surface samples were taken to better characterise the nature of the dumped deposits within the rampart ditch. The archaeological monitoring, investigation and recording during the contamination survey revealed buried modern dump deposits and a buried topsoil. The dump deposits are likely to be derived from activity associated with RAF Medmenham, whilst the buried topsoil may date back to when this part of the site was used for pasture in the 19th and early 20th centuries. No archaeological features were exposed and no deposits or artefacts were revealed that pre-date the modern period.
