| Collection Title | Data from Trial Trenching at Grove Hill Farm, Buckinghamshire, 2020 (HS2 Phase One) |
| Description | This collection comprises the site records; CBM and flint recording data; and the photographic archive from an archaeological trial trench evaluation at Grove Hill Farm, Westbury, Buckinghamshire. The fieldwork was undertaken by COPA in September 2020. The documentary and finds archives will be deposited with Discover Bucks Museum. The trial trench investigation revealed limited evidence of early prehistoric date, comprising only a few worked flints suggestive of a limited background presence in the landscape during this period. No evidence of Bronze Age settlement activity was revealed on Site. The trial trench investigation identified the remains of a pit alignment of early/middle Iron Age date. Whilst no clear evidence of associated Iron Age settlement was revealed, the pit alignment provides evidence of an important land boundary. The archaeological evidence remains indicative of a probable medieval parish boundary and ridge-and-furrow cultivation demonstrate the agricultural nature of land use during the medieval period. |
