This collection comprises of photogrammetry, reports, GIS data, spreadsheets, images and site records from an archaeological recording carried out by INFRA Archaeology at Waddesdon Land Parcels, Aylesbury Vale, Buckinghamshire between March and August 2021.
The aim of the Archaeological Recording was to identify the extent and character of any surviving archaeological remains within the site. The outcomes of the investigation will define the character, extent, quality, preservation and significance of the archaeology present in order to determine its potential to contribute to specific objectives set out in the GWSI: HERDS.
This part of the Waddesdon landscape has been identified by a previous trenching evaluation as an area of subdivided Roman field system and aims were defined in the Project Plan and LSWSI and are therefore summarised here:
For both land parcels the project plan and Fieldwork Change Control Acceptance Sheet identified that the archaeological investigation may make a contribution to the following objectives set out in the GWSI:
The site produced evidence of Prehistoric to Roman features, with the majority dating to the Late Iron Age/Early Romano period. These features include enclosure ditch systems, circular paddocks, corn dryer, stone floored structure, and a trackway. Human remains are present in the form of a single inhumation and disarticulated remains. Given these results integration of the sites dataset into regional research frameworks would be beneficial.
The following further analysis of the dataset is also recommended:
