Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Planning permission was granted by Aylesbury Vale District Council for the erection of two dwellings and conversion of a stable block into a single dwelling, together with alterations to existing access to land at 'The Cottage', Church Lane, Soulbury, Buckinghamshire. Archaeological monitoring of the construction works took place intermittently between and early March and April 2016 The creation of the raised terrace in Plot 1 had masked the naturally rising ground in this area. This was occupied by a garden, which underwent change over time, including the creation of an ornamental garden. This area contained a series of rubbish pits, which merged with a garden cultivation soil and were probably contemporary. The finds from these pits indicate domestic rubbish disposal; the material mostly dates to the Victorian period, though some 20th-century material was present, indicating limited continuation of this practice into recent times. The made-ground deposits did not seal any earlier features or an earlier buried soil profile. No earlier residual finds were recovered, suggesting that this area was away from the focus of activity in the medieval and post-medieval periods. There were fewer features in Plot 2, comprising a series of ditches containing relatively dark fills. The only finds were modern, recovered from the unexcavated surface of the fill, which does not provide reliable dating for the features. However the dark character of the fills and the common alignment with the terrace and stable block to the north may suggest that the features were relatively modern, possibly defining parts of a garden or small land parcels.
