Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in July 2015 at Rushendon Furlong, Pitstone, Buckinghamshire. Eight trenches were excavated, with six trenches measuring 30m in length and 1.8m in width, and the remaining two trenches measuring 20m long by 1.8m wide and 10m in length by 1.8m in width. A number of features were identified during the course of the evaluation. Several ditches were observed running east to west across the southernmost part of the site and a single ditch was aligned north-west to south east, though this feature is believed to be a modern service ditch. The only other features of any archaeological significance revealed by the evaluation were a series of tree throws and a single posthole, recorded toward the southern edge of the site. The only dateable evidence retrieved came from one of the tree throws comprised 13 to 14 century pottery, and the various other recorded features were deemed to most likely be either post-Medieval or modern in date. |
