Abstract:		 Archaeological Services and Consultancy Ltd. (ASC) undertook an evaluation in December 2004 and January 2005 at land adjacent to Stoke Road, Water Eaton, Bletchley. The two contiguous fields comprising the site contained pronounced ridge and furrow. An earthwork survey recorded its location, direction and profile. Geophysical survey (magnetometry) did not reveal anomalies suggesting the presence of cut and infilled archaeological features although parallel, strongly positive curvilinear anomalies caused by the deeper soils atop the ridges were evident. Excavation of fifteen evaluation trenches to verify the negative geophysics results exposed two shallow ditches, two pits and two postholes. Two contingency trenches exposed more of the ditches and another posthole. Potsherds recovered from the features date to the middle Saxon period suggest settlement activity in a restricted area in the central part of the site. It is thought that truncation of the features at the base of the furrows and masking by the strong magnetic responses of the ridges was responsible for the negative geophysical results.
