Abstract:		 This archaeological assessment relates to the proposed construction of a new horse trials course at Dadford Common, Stowe, Buckinghamshire at (NGR 467000 238000). The report presents the results of a desk-based study of published archaeological information in the public domain. The desk-based study was carried out relative to a Study Area comprising a 500m buffer zone centred on the Proposed Development Area. Following the desk-based assessment, a program of archaeological observation and recording was undertaken. A single site visit was undertaken by an archaeologist on the morning of October 18th 2013 during which detailed inspection and recording of all stripped areas was undertaken. Searches of national and county databases, the study of modern and historic mapping, aerial photography and written accounts, and the results of field survey, have identified a total of 126 sites of archaeological significance within the Study Area. Fourteen of the sites identified are located within or immediately adjacent to the proposed development area, these consisted of Stowe Conservation Area, a shrunken medieval village, the canalised course of the Dad stream, two footbridges, two areas of ridge and furrow, two areas of past garden plots/property boundaries, two past pond sites, the remains of a past avenue of tree, and the site of a holloway. Of these, Stowe Conservation Area is considered to be subject to indirect adverse impact and Stowe Registered Park to direct minor adverse impact. Both impacts would ordinarily carry a medium level of significance, but proposed enhancements to boundaries within Dadford Common may reduce the overall significance of impact to low. There is a minor direct impact upon one area of ridge & furrow, which is considered to carry a low level of significance. Affects upon six other sites of local importance are uncertain. The potential significance of affect upon three sites is in the range low-medium, whilst for a further three it is considered low. During machine stripping for a series of new jumps, a small quantity of post-medieval and early modern material was observed by a representative of the National Trust. A subsequent site visit identified no archaeological features or deposits although further post-medieval finds were recovered from two of the stripped areas.
