Abstract:		 The site of the wind farm lies on high ground in the valley of the Petsoe Brook, approximately 3km to the SE of the market town of Olney close to the northern boundary of the Borough of Milton Keynes. The main focus of construction activity associated with the creation of the wind farm was on the south side of the valley extending up to the adjacent plateau. The mitigation comprised pre-emptive investigation of the areas of archaeological significance revealed by the evaluation: the footprint of Turbine Bases 1 and 6. Subsequently the Crane Base associated with Turbine Base 1 was also included in the investigation area. In areas of lower archaeological significance, constant archaeological observation during construction was maintained. This allowed any exposed archaeological deposits to be investigated and recorded. Monitoring was undertaken to either the formation level for construction, or until undisturbed geological strata were revealed. The final component of this work consisted of monitoring of the cable trenching. For this, the strategy was revised after an initial phase of monitoring - given the narrowness and depth of the trench, monitoring focussed on those areas which had been previously identified as archaeologically significant. The archaeological work revealed a previously unrecorded late Iron Age/ Roman settlement on the high ground to the south of the Petsoe Brook. Evidence for the medieval and later utilisation of the valley was also revealed, particularly in the area adjacent to the watercourse, providing an indication of the changing settlement pattern in the area.
