Abstract: |
In September 2012, Cotswold Archaeology (CA) carried out an archaeological evaluation of the site of Springbank House, Lane End, High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire. The evaluation comprised the excavation of four trial trenches. It was commissioned by CgMs Consulting, acting on behalf of Fairview New Homes Ltd. It was undertaken in part fulfilment of a condition attached to planning permission granted for residential development of the site. A previous desk-based assessment of the site indicated the potential for medieval, post-medieval and modern remains at the street frontage, as well as possible activity associated with a medieval deer park which lay adjacent to the site. The assessment did note, however, that modern disturbance at the site is likely to have been extensive. The evaluation recorded no archaeological features or deposits. The natural substrate was overlain directly by modern rubble levelling deposits in the north-eastern end of the site and by concrete surfacing in the south-western end. There was no remaining trace of former subsoil or topsoil horizons, indicating that the ground level was truncated during construction of Springbank House in the mid 20th century. Any archaeological remains associated with the medieval/post-medieval street frontage and the medieval deer park will have been removed by this truncation. |
