Abstract:
Planning permission was granted for the development of up to 10 dwellings at Boot Field, Soulbury, with associated access, parking, landscaping, drainage and associated engineering works . Albion Archaeology was commissioned to undertake a field evaluation, The trial trenching revealed medieval and post-medieval features. They comprised ditches, internal/external surfaces, a single posthole and other layers associated with the earthworks visible within the landscape. A variety of features and deposits associated with the post-medieval period were revealed, including numerous make-up layers and cobbled and gravel surfaces in Trenches 2, 3, 4 and 7. These most likely relate to the buildings recorded on the 1769 manorial plan. Surfaces immediately below the topsoil and apparently correlating with known buildings were observed in Trenches 3 and 4. It is possible that a surface recorded in Trench 2 was associated with another of the buildings depicted on the 1769 plan. Originally it was thought that a fourth building should be present at the SE margin of the area. Recalibration of the manorial plan, incorporating information from the evaluation, suggests that this was actually situated further to the south, Ditches associated with the post-medieval activity were identified across Trenches 2-6. Only one of these in Trench 4 closely correlated to a component of the rectilinear enclosures recorded on the 1769 manorial plan. Several ditches in Trenches 2 and 6 are more recent boundaries, with one still visible as a marked depression in the landscape. The remains provide an opportunity for the study of medieval and post-medieval rural settlement activity and associated earthworks in Soulbury.
