Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out during the groundworks for a new office building at the headquarters of Thames Valley Police, Wendover Road, Walton, Aylesbury. The site lies in an area of archaeological potential with extensive settlement remains of Bronze Age through to Anglo-Saxon date located nearby. In the immediate vicinity, evidence for late Iron Age and Romano-British agricultural activity has been found. Previous trial trenching within the development area revealed undated archaeological features. The groundworks revealed a number of likely quarry pits, a ditch and a furrow. However, none of these features could be dated so their significance remains uncertain. It is possible that the quarrying represents activities associated with the expansion of Aylesbury during the medieval and later periods. |
