Introduction
This collection comprises of images, report, site record and spreadsheet data from trial trenching at Doddershall Deserted Medieval Village, Doddershall Embankment, Buckinghamshire, 2018-2019.
Project Summary
One hundred and two test pits were dug by Connect Archaeology between the 12th of December 2018 and 24th January 2019 at Doddershall, Quainton, Buckinghamshire. The features located are all concentrated on the central area of Site which was the old high street. Due to the small size of the test pits, the features located could not be categorised in great detail. But features which were uncovered included a stone lined area (possibly a pit or surface), a ditch, possible flooring and a possible house foundation. All of the features located included deposits which yielded pottery that was dated to the medieval period and represent an area of habitation.
Re-Use Value Statement
The Doddershall evaluations archive can be considered as part of the wider HS2 archive and as such has re-use value. The site has value on its own as it identified Medieval features. The evidence contributes to the corpus of such sites in Britain.
