Abstract: |
During July 2004 ASC Ltd carried out the first phase of an archaeological evaluation on the proposed site of Hazeley Secondary School, Hazeley, Milton Keynes. Twenty four 50m trenches were excavated during this phase of the evaluation. The majority of the trenches were laid out to investigate a series of anomalies recorded during an earlier geophysical survey, the remaining trenches were laid out to give a general coverage over the proposed development area. Many of the trenches contained evidence for modern drainage. Several of the trenches also contained the shallow bases of medieval plough furrows. A few small undated ditches were also revealed. The only area of potentially significant archaeology was found in one trench towards the south-eastern corner of the site where a small area containing a concentration of Roman pottery including imports and local coarse wares dating from the 2nd and 3rd centuries was exposed. Other than a few small rough limestone blocks no evidence of associated features was discovered. It is likely that this pottery represents a dump rather than part of an insitu feature, but it is possible that a settlement site lies nearby. |
