Abstract: |
Between May 2006 and January 2007, Archaeological Services and Consultancy Ltd (ASC) carried out an archaeological excavation and watching brief at 25 Horn Street, Winslow Buckinghamshire, in advance of and during the construction of three two-storey dwellings with detached garages and access. The work followed an evaluation carried out by ASC in April 2005 (Rouse 2005). During the excavation two trenches were opened within the footprint of the northernmost house plot. These revealed an unusually deep layer of topsoil, covering a possible drainage ditch. The fill of this feature consisted of a black, organic layer, from which large amounts of animal bone were recovered, suggesting that tanning was carried out within the vicinity of the site. No other significant finds or features were recovered from the excavation. The watching brief was carried out during the excavation of the footing trenches of all three houses and their two associated garages. No significant pre-modern finds or features were observed during the watching brief. |
