Introduction
This collection comprises images and site records from Trial Trenching at the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre, Quainton, Buckinghamshire. The work was undertaken between 2019-2021 by COPA: Cotswold Oxford Pre-Construct Archaeology.
Project Summary
The trial trench evaluation was required to identify the location, extent, survival and significance of any heritage assets of archaeological interest within the Site and will contribute to the following specific Generic Written Scheme of Investigation (GWSI): Historic Environment Research and Delivery Strategy (HERDS) objectives:
· KC15 Can we identify regional patterns in the form and location of Late Bronze Age and Iron Age settlements across the route, and are there associated differences in landscape organisation and enclosure?
· KC21 Assess the evidence for regional and cultural distinctiveness along the length of the route in the Romano-British period, with particular regard to the different settlement types encountered along the route.
· KC23 Identify evidence for late Roman occupation and attempt to identify any continuity in settlement patterns between the end of the Romano-British period and the Early Medieval period.
· KC40 Identify patterns of change within medieval rural settlement from the 11th to mid-14th century.
Re-Use Value Statement
The location, extent, survival and significance of any heritage assets of archaeological interest on this site have been captured in this dataset. This can inform future research into the archaeology and practices within the site and surrounding landscape, but also for the county as a whole.
