Abstract:		 The excavation targeted an area adjacent to the southern side of the development site, around the evaluation trenches that had revealed Roman features. It comprised a roughly rectangular area measuring c 72m x 56m, encompassing an area of c 0.38ha. Topsoil and overburden were removed to the top of archaeological deposits by a machine using a toothless bucket operating under archaeological supervision. The area was hand‐cleaned to define archaeological features sufficiently in order to produce a base plan of all features using GPS. This base plan was provided for Simon Mortimer and Nick Crank for the first monitoring meeting. All archaeological deposits were excavated by hand and recorded stratigraphically in accordance with OA’s recording system and the WSI. All work was undertaken in accordance with the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists’ Standard and Guidance for Archaeological Excavation (2014) and local and national planning policies. Excavations at Glebelands, Broughton, Milton Keynes revealed a Bronze Age cemetery comprising eight pits containing deposits of cremated bone. A variety of burial practices were evident. One burial was contained within an urn of early to middle Bronze Age type, while another appears to be a form of in situ or ‘bustum’ cremation burial. Two further burials each contained remains from at least three individuals – two adults and a child – suggestive of family groups. One of these individuals returned a radiocarbon date in the early part of the middle Bronze Age. During the Roman period, a small openended rectangular enclosure was constructed. Pottery from its ditches suggests that it was in use between c AD 170‐250. The enclosure may have been associated with a settlement previously investigated at Magna Park to the south.
