Abstract:		 Between April and June 2008 Albion Archaeology undertook an archaeological field evaluation (trial trenching) of land to the west of Milton Keynes. The current site, forms the first phase of trial trenching and follows on from a geophysical survey undertaken in 2007. The results of the trial trenching identified archaeological remains dating from the early Iron Age to the medieval periods. Of most significance were two distinct areas of Iron Age settlement activity located on higher ground within the site. These areas comprised ditches and pits, as well as a sizeable amount of irregular shaped features more characteristic of tree rooting. The pottery from both areas predominantly dated from the middle-late Iron Age, with a small amount dating to the early-middle Iron Age and Roman periods. Other remains included a series of broadly parallel ditches containing pottery suggesting a Roman date. These appeared to be on a similar alignment to Roman Watling Street located c. 300m to the north-east. The relative lack of artefacts and their character suggest they are associated with agricultural activity. Medieval ridge and furrow earthworks survive in varying states of preservation throughout the site.
