Abstract:		 In July 2014, Oxford Archaeology (OA) carried out a field evaluation on land at Broughton Crossing, Bierton in Buckinghamshire. The evaluation comprised machine excavation of 35 trenches. These trenches were in two areas, Areas A and D. This area was part of a larger development site, previously investigated by Oxford Archaeology in 2012. A single trench was proposed for Area A, the trench had to be abandoned due to the probable presence of modern services. The trenches in Area D were located to investigate two areas of anomalies recorded in a geophysical survey of the site as well as the apparently blank areas between and around them. The trenching revealed two main concentrations of archaeological remains. One, in the north-eastern part of the area, mostly dated to the late Iron Age to early Roman period, and one, in the south-eastern part of the area, was of mainly middle to late Roman date. Evidence for later prehistoric activity was present in the north of the area, in the form of sherds of flint tempered pottery recovered from later features and from the subsoil. The nature of this activity is unclear and was not closely datable. A number of plough furrows, the remnants of ridge and furrow, suggest that during the medieval period and later, the site lay within agricultural fields. Ceramic land drains, present in many trenches, attest to efforts to improve the drainage of the site, probably in the 18th century or later.
