Abstract: |
During May 2004 Archaeological Services and Consultancy Ltd (ASC) carried out a post - determination archaeological evaluation at a site on land adjacent to Poplars Farmhouse, Simpson, Milton Keynes (NGR SP 8811 3627). Four trenches were excavated. The main stratigraphic sequence was similar across the site: the natural orange clay was overlain by a silty clay subsoil that was sealed by a topsoil. In trenches 2-4 the original topsoil was buried by a modern redeposited clay layer and subsequent topsoil. Within trench 4, a post-medieval north-south orientated ditch [405] cut the subsoil and was sealed by the original topsoil of the site. It may be a drainage ditch associated with the known post medieval settlement within the vicinity of the site. Alternatively, as [405] is aligned approximately parallel with Grand Union Canal that runs north-south beyond the western site boundary it may have been a drainage ditch along the eastern base of the canal bund. |
