Abstract:		 The watching brief was maintained on the service trenches for electrical, water and drainage utilities for a total of three days from 20th March 2017. During this time monitoring was maintained upon any groundworks which had the potential to have an impact upon any archaeological deposits. All trenches were numbered and where appropriate a full set of records were produced under the OA’s general approach to excavation and recording (Wilkinson 1992). A series of section drawings were produced to show the presence and/or absence of archaeological remains. As well as trenching for the service runs there was also moleing to pull the services through. This was designed to reduce the area of impact and save time. It was agreed that if any obstructions were encountered during moleing, a trench would be opened to allow for archaeological investigation. No obstructions were encountered during the moleing process. In March 2017 Oxford Archaeology undertook an archaeological watching brief at West Wycombe Park, West Wycombe, Buckinghamshire. The work was commissioned by the National Trust to allow for new drainage, water and electrical services to be laid across the western car park for the construction of temporary toilets. The watching brief was maintained during the groundworks. The excavation of these trenches revealed little to no significant archaeology other than a flint quarry pit of unknown date. The only feature uncovered was an undated pit, probably a gravel quarry pit. The west face of the foundation of the boundary wall that divided the car park from the gardens of the North West Lodge was exposed, including a brick arch.
