Abstract:		 Outline planning permission was granted for the erection of up to 141 dwellings and associated works on land at Long Street Road, Hanslope. The Local Planning Authority required a phased programme of archaeological works prior to development, to be agreed in advance by the Senior Archaeological Officer of Milton Keynes Council (SAO). CgMs Heritage (part of RPS Group PLC) therefore commissioned a geophysical survey by Magnitude Surveys in April 2018, before commissioning Albion Archaeology to carry out a programme of trial trenching in October 2018. The development area comprises a roughly square piece of arable land to the south-west of Long Street Road, on the north-western edge of the village of Hanslope, Milton Keynes. It measures c. 7.2 ha and is centred on NGR SP 798 474, at a height of c. 105-110m OD on ground that rises to the east. The bedrock geology comprises mudstone belonging to the Blisworth Clay Formation, which is overlain by Boulder Clay deposits from the Oadby Member Formation. Thirty-one trenches were excavated in order to test anomalies identified by the geophysical survey, as well as the supposedly blank areas. These broadly confirmed the results of the geophysical survey, revealing a generally low level of archaeological remains across the area. The only exceptions to this were a small concentration of Iron Age settlement-related activity in the northern half of the site, and some poorly defined medieval activity towards the street frontage that is likely to have been peripheral to any contemporary settlement. Four silver coins that have been reported under the Treasure Act were found through metal-detecting, but these could not be related to any specific archaeological features
