Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology, between March and April 2019, on land east of Lower Road, Stoke Mandeville, Buckinghamshire. The excavation identified four main phases of activity within the site. The earliest phase of activity, concentrated in the northwestern part of the excavation area, comprised a group of five pits containing Bronze Age pottery and one stakehole containing Early Iron Age pottery. A further 19 undated pits and stakeholes, distributed across the western part of the site, were attributed to this period. A second phase of activity was represented by a series of northeast/ south-west orientated ditches interpreted as Roman bedding trenches, along with associated field boundaries. The nature of the agricultural exploitation taking place, or the type of crop being grown, could not be identified, however, similar evidence of Roman plantation agriculture has been interpreted as representing cultivation rows for growing either grapes, hops or soft fruit. The next phase of activity was represented by plough furrows of probable medieval to post-medieval date. These medieval to postmedieval plough furrows represent the remains of the open field system that once surrounded the village of Stoke Mandeville and were encountered across the southern part of the excavation area. The final phase of activity comprised field boundary ditches located in the northern part of the site. Artefactual material recovered from the features and cartographic evidence suggests these field systems have their origins within the post-medieval period. They are likely to represent boundary and/or drainage features.
