Abstract:		 The evaluation comprised 12 trenches each measuring 10m by 1.5m. The trenches were located to provide an even coverage of the site. The location of all trenches, except Trench 12, was altered slightly from those specified within the WSI due to the presence of garden features or previously unknown services. All trenches were located using a GPS system with a sub 50mm accuracy. Trenches were CAT scanned prior to and during excavation to avoid any unknown service pipes and cables. Trenches were opened under constant archaeological supervision, using a mechanical excavator fitted with a toothless ditching bucket. Revealed features were hand cleaned and a sample were excavated and recorded. Finds were recovered and bagged by unique context number. During April 2016 Oxford Archaeology carried out a trial trench evaluation on land at Danesfield House Hotel, Medmenham, Buckinghamshire. Limited archaeological remains were uncovered during the works. With the exception of a single prehistoric pit all features could be associated with late 19th century landscaping and garden activity or an RAF base established on the site in the early to mid 20th century.
