Abstract: |
A housing development is proposed on a vacant irregular plot of land covering an area of c290 square meters on land adjacent to 25 High Street, North Crawley, Milton Keynes. An archaeological evaluation comprising two trial trenches, and observation of two geological test pits, found the remains of three early gullies, and a late 19th century house. The earliest features found were three truncated boundary gullies, which suggest that the line of the High Street on the north side was slightly different than its current position; parallel with the present south side, observable at the Old Bakehouse, 26 High Street, which is thought to date from the 17th century. The small cottage was probably that recorded on the Ordnance Survey in 1881, which shows that the street frontage was fully developed by then. The pottery and small amount of clay pipe found in demolition layers suggest that the cottages had been demolished by c 1920. |
