Abstract: |
A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land at Golden Mede and to the west of Warmstone Lane, Waddesdon, Buckinghamshire, centred on NGR 474550, 216725 and NGR 474875, 216625. The project was commissioned by The Rothschild Foundation with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features on the Site ahead of proposed development. The Site comprises two survey areas located on the southern edge of Waddesdon, some 7.5km west north west of the centre of Aylesbury. The Site occupies a gently sloping area that is used for allotments and pasture. The gradiometer survey covered 2.2ha and has demonstrated the presence of a few anomalies of possible archaeological interest within the survey area, along with agricultural features, regions of increased magnetic response and at least one modern service. The most interesting feature detected was a pit-like anomaly that lies to the far east of the Site. The remaining features detected relate to agricultural activity with ceramic field drains, former field boundaries and numerous ploughing trends detected. The western of the two survey areas is dominated by ferrous responses and these are considered dense and strong enough to obscure any archaeological features that may be present here. The survey was undertaken between the 5th and 6th November 2014 by Wessex Archaeology's in-house geophysics team. |
