Abstract:
In March 2011, Oxford Archaeology South undertook an evaluation at Buckingham Golf Club, Denham, Buckinghamshire on behalf of Hunter Price Chartered architects. One 'T'-shaped evaluation trench was located within the confines of the proposed building footprint. The evaluation revealed a sequence of garden soils overlying alluvium at a depth of around 0.8m BGL. The western side of the trench encountered the eastern edge of the pond / moat, which had been extensively infilled and levelled with modern demolition material. This is believed to have occurred during a refurbishment of Denham Court in the late 1980s. A raised gravel bank was identified that appeared to match the eastern edge of the pond / moat feature as shown on the historic maps. A tree line appears to have been planted along the bank, which therefore seems most likely to be a landscaped garden feature associated with the gardens of Denham Court. The date of the original creation of this feature and the adjacent former pond remain unproven, although the gravel bank clearly overlies the Holocene alluvial sequence and survived as an extent garden feature into the late 20th century. The base of the alluvium was not encountered within the evaluation trench, although a test pit was dug at the southern end to a depth of 2.5 m. The alluvium contained significant quantities of preserved organic material in peaty lenses, although the only indication of human activity from the alluvium was a single undiagnostic flint flake from close to the top of the sequence. Two hand auger samples were subsequently undertaken to establish the full depth of the alluvial sediments. The results of the fieldwork indicate that there is a very low likelihood that significant archaeological remains will be encountered within the building footprint.
