Abstract: |
During May and June 2013, Souterrain Archaeological Services Limited undertook archaeological investigation and recording during ground preparation for a new building adjacent to the Old Swan, a 17th century inn, which is situated within the historic core of Astwood village, Buckinghamshire. The development plot was suspected to contain buried archaeological remains pertaining to the medieval and post-medieval periods. A sequence of medieval to post-medieval pits were revealed along the northwest boundary of the site, suggesting the proximity to an ancient boundary. The pits were sealed beneath a layer of hard-standing composed of domestic hearth waste dating to the late 18th or early 19th century. The medieval pits are broadly dated by pottery to the 13th century. To date, the discoveries represent the most significant body of archaeological evidence for 13th to 14th century settlement at Astwood. |
