Abstract: |
In April 2007 Archaeological Services and Consultancy Ltd (ASC) carried out a watching brief during the excavation of footing trenches for a new Clubhouse at Dovecote Lakes, Little Linford. The village dates back to the Saxon period, if not earlier, and it was thought that the excavations might reveal medieval house platforms. Dovecote Lakes were formed by extensive gravel extraction undertaken in the 1960s during construction of the M1 motorway. This watching brief showed that the quarrying extended southwest of the lakes, towards Little Linford Lane, reaching a depth of between 1.5m and 1.8m below the current ground level. No archaeological features, deposits or artefacts were observed. |
