Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Recent work at several sites around Milton Keynes in Buckinghamshire is summarised. Proposed restoration of the chapel at the Priory of St Mary, Bradwell, necessitated excavation in order to ascertain the original floor and external ground levels. Internally this revealed a pavement of Little Brickhill tiles beneath a succession of brick, cobble and earth floors, whilst outside remains of a substantial 13th-century building, probably the priory church, were identified and several graves were noted. Limited excavation was undertaken at the shrunken medieval village of Caldecotte, aiming to locate definite Saxon occupation layers; trial trenches here in 1967 had produced evidence of late Iron Age, Roman and middle Saxon activity. The recent work recovered further Saxon pottery, but only late Iron Age, Roman and medieval features were seen. Excavation was carried out at the yard and site of the tithe barn at Rectory Farm, Simpson, following dismantling of the 17th-century barn. The building was found to have been of two periods of construction, whilst the first occupation on the site was represented by 13th- and 14th-century pits. Earthworks at the shrunken medieval village of Walton were planned and several areas were excavated in advance of development, revealing two medieval buildings and a Roman yard surface. Earthworks were also surveyed at the shrunken medieval villages of Great Linford and Woughton on the Green, and a trial trench was excavated across the west side of Willen Moat. LD |
