Abstract: |
In October 2009 Archaeological Solutions (AS) conducted an archaeological evaluation at the Waterside Redevelopment site, Exchange Street, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire (NGR SP 8221 1364). The evaluation was commissioned by Cheetham Hill Construction in compliance with a pre-planning application requirement in advance of a proposal to drill boreholes across the site. The site is of particular importance for the Saxon and medieval periods, and also for study of the Roman-Saxon transition. It lies between the historic cores of Walton and Aylesbury, on low-lying land that has the potential to seal and therefore preserve any archaeological deposits beneath alluvium. Waterlogged remains may be encountered. The evaluation revealed modern walls probably associated with the development on the site before it was converted into a car park. Several alluvial deposits above riverine gravels were also identified, and sampled. The monoliths were examined by Dr Rob Scaife and suggest an open environment with no local woodland. |
