Abstract: |
Planning consent was granted on appeal for a residential development and associated office at 1 London End Lane, Bow Brickhill, Milton Keynes. Albion Archaeology was commissioned by Gill Hudson Homes Ltd to undertake a programme of archaeological works. The archaeological monitoring comprised two visits. The preliminary access works and the driveway up the lower slope were initially monitored. Subsequently, the area upslope, within the footprint of the dwelling and associated parking area, was monitored. The results indicated that the areas had been striped and disturbed previously; probably as part of the original development scheme some years ago. The site had then been abandoned, allowing a thin turf to form. No archaeological features were observed. However, it is likely that if any had been present, they would have been relatively well-defined against the geological strata, despite some churning of the upper horizon (probably associated with the initial development). Apart from modern artefacts including brick and concrete, which appear to have been imported into the site (possibly as hard core), no artefacts were recovered. |
