Abstract: |
MOLA was commissioned to carry out a magnetometer survey of 109ha of land at Eaton Leys Farm, Bletchley, Milton Keynes, and undertook this work in stages between February and September 2014. The survey mapped much of the southern half of the Roman town of Magiovinium, revealing an extensive sprawl of unenclosed settlement remains cut through by later multivallate defences. There was evidence for possible industrial activity in the eastern part of the town and a possible monumental building in the west, close to the River Ouzel. A separate area of Roman settlement was identified approximately 1km south of the town, where two adjacent sets of rectilinear enclosures were present. Less substantial archaeological remains, of unknown date, were detected in the intervening area. Traces of medieval ridge and furrow and post-medieval field boundaries were detected widely across the entire survey area. |
