Abstract:		 Planning permission has been granted for the construction of a new agricultural access adjacent to Rands Farm in Shipton, Winslow, Buckinghamshire. Archaeological monitoring of the construction works took place on 5 November 2013. Two post-medieval and/or modern ditches and several modern pits were cut through subsoil . In addition, a number of postholes truncated silt layer; some were still partially covered by the subsoil. A large pit, backfilled with light brown clay with yellow clay patches,was partially exposed. It cut the subsoil and therefore is most likely modern in date. Its function is unclear, although it could represent a quarry pit. Two ditches were located near the northern edge of the area. The fills of both ditches contained modern brick and tile fragments and one] produced fragments of 18-19th-century transfer-printed ware, including willow pattern. These were not retained. The ditches were parallel to existing field boundaries and are, therefore, most likely post-medieval or later in date.Seven postholes were located in the centre sit. Most were still covered by a thin layer of subsoil and only partially visible. One posthole contained the remains of a partially rotted wooden post. The most distinct of the postholes, was half-sectioned and it produced a coarse sand-tempered pottery body sherd (4g) of probable 13th-century date (type MS8 after Mynard 1992) and an unworn sheep molar (3g).Despite the fragment of medieval pottery, the date and function of the postholes is difficult to ascertain. Their proximity to the known medieval settlement remains might suggest that they were associated in date and function. However, the wooden post in feature [16] suggests that at least one of them was modern in date. The features are preserved in situ below a protective membrane and imported hardcore for the trackway
