Abstract:		 Planning permission was granted by Milton Keynes Council for the construction of six dwellings and associated access and parking areas at Shenley Road, Bletchley. During this period, all groundworks which required monitoring were completed. The groundworks consisted of the excavation of foundation trenches and the reduction of the ground within the internal area of the new building footprint. A small number of very small, abraded sherds of late Iron Age pottery define the earliest activity on the site, although these are not considered to provide reliable dating for the ditches from which they were recovered. The earliest features on the site are a series of ditches, probably dating to the post-medieval period. . dating from 1813 onwards. A number of brick structures and brick and lime mortar post-pads were also revealed. These are part of the foundations of a complex of farm buildings, including a possible Dutch Barn, which would appear to correspond to buildings first shown on the first edition 25-inch OS map of 1895. An undated post-pad constructed of limestone and lime mortar may be part of a feature pre-dating the farm complex. A lump of lime mortar, found near the base of the feature had a small piece of sackcloth adhering to it, probably the remains of sacking used to transport lime onto the site.
