Abstract: |
Planning permission was granted by Aylesbury Vale District Council for development at Wood End Farm, Wood End, Nash. A condition was attached to the planning consent requiring a programme of archaeological works and historic building recording. The two barns with permission for conversion to dwellings were sold and the site was subsequently developed in three plots; Wood End Farm, Dairy Barn and Pond Barn. Albion Archaeology was commissioned by the respective owners of the three plots to undertake the archaeological monitoring, building recording and reporting. The works comprised: monitoring during excavation for foundation pads for new agricultural buildings in Wood End Farm; monitoring floor reduction, underpinning and strip footings in the Dairy Barn and monitoring strip footings in the Pond Barn. In the Wood End Farm plot the features consisted of an early 20th-century rubbish pit and an undated layer of large, rounded stones, probably consolidation above soft ground within a former hollow. In the Dairy Barn plot the only deposits identified were geological. In the Pond Barn plot an undated pit was located in the south-west of the plot. The archaeological evidence found during this investigation indicated few subsurface features. No pre-modern finds were noted in the upper soil layers or as intrusive material in modern features. The observations provide no evidence for the 17th-century origin of the farm as suggested by the buildings and historic documents. |
