Abstract:		 Between May and November 2009 Albion Archaeology undertook archaeological monitoring and mitigation works during work to renovate and convert Chicheley Hall for use as a conference facility; The Kavli Royal Society International Centre. The archaeological works were commissioned by RPS Planning on behalf of the Kavli Foundation. Chicheley Hall is an early Georgian country house (grade I listed). The results of a desk based assessment indicated earthwork remains in the fields around the Hall associated with a possible shrunken medieval village. The work undertaken comprised strip, map and sample excavation of discrete areas where groundworks had the potential to expose archaeological remains and archaeological monitoring of areas of more limited groundworks such as service trenches. Strip, map and sample excavations within the Coach House to the west of main house uncovered medieval and later remains. This included boundary ditches and pits dating from the early medieval period. The pits contained pottery animal bone, and ecofacts including a significant assemblage of charred plant remains. A number of human burials were found in the western part of the Coach House which are associated with the adjacent parish churchyard. Further features possibly dating from the medieval period were identified during monitoring of a service trench in a field to the south of the house. Deposits associated with the post medieval, eighteenth century and modern periods were also identified. These included features associated with the use of the Coach House as stables and masonry lined pits in the northern part of the Coach House.
