Abstract: |
In February 2019 an Archaeological Topographical Survey was undertaken of a part of an enclosed field off High Road, Soulbury, Bucks. The purpose of the survey was to obtain an accurate measured archaeological record of historic earthworks relating to the medieval / post-medieval agrarian landscape, prior to their loss or damage in the course of development. The earthworks comprise: lynchets and boundary ditches in a reasonably good state of preservation; a series of rectilinear enclosures in extremely low relief; and three possible building platforms. The lynchets are likely to have been formed during the period of medieval open field cultivation, while the rectilinear enclosures and platforms represent later encroachment and (pre-Parliamentary) enclosure. The earthworks were surveyed to Ordnance Survey National Grid co-ordinates and orthometric heights using RTK Differential GPS. The report provides an illustrative and descriptive account of the earthworks, using a combination of computer-generated graphics and conventional survey drawings (hachure plan), supported by digital photography. |
