Abstract:		 Albion Archaeology was commissioned to undertake the archaeological evaluation of approximately 80 hectares of land on the northern edge of Milton Keynes. A geophysical (fluxgate gradiometer) survey was undertaken in two episodes between late August and early September 2004, targeting the three areas of proposed development within the eastern area. In April 2007 Albion Archaeology undertook an archaeological field evaluation (trial trenching) on land at Stantonbury Park, Milton Keynes, on behalf of CgMs Consulting.The evaluation comprised the excavation of 85 trial trenches. The majority of the trenches contained the backfilled remnants of furrows with at least two medieval/post-medieval field systems being identified within the development area. The remaining archaeological remains were concentrated within the north-western part of the development area. They consisted of ditches and gullies with the occasional pit and posthole. The majority of the features were undated. Two field boundary ditches, a drainage gulley and a shallow depression were dated to the mid-late Iron Age. The overall paucity of artefacts and occupational debris would suggest that these remains were not located in the immediate vicinity of a domestic settlement but on its periphery. They were probably associated with farming activities.
