Abstract:		 John Moore Heritage Services conducted an archaeological evaluation in advance of the proposed construction of a new development at Hollywell Farm, Cuddington Road, Dinton Cuddington, Buckinghamshire (SP7565 1160). Five trenches, with a cumulative length of approximately 102 metres were excavated to the uppermost surface of the archaeology or natural geology. The earliest features were Romano-British ditches and pits seen in Trenches 2, 3, 4 and 5 which covered a relatively flat area on the immediate crest of a slope descending northwards. The ditches probably once formed boundaries of a Romano-British farming complex, which occupied this hilltop during the 2nd through to the 4th Century AD. The actual settlement evidence came from a series of postholes, a gully and waste pits from Trenches 2 and 3 set close to the boundary ditches of the Romano-British farmstead. All of the ditches were broadly contemporary with a mixture of both early and later Roman pottery within the fills. The ditches were generally deep with sharp concave sides filled with sandy clay, which looked deliberately backfilled rather than gradual filling over time. During a later phase of activity, a large (possibly defensive) ditch seen in Trench 5 orientated approximately north-east south-west may have re-instated the boundaries of the farm during the 3rd/4th Century AD. This ditch contained some Saxon and Post medieval pottery on its uppermost surface, which indicates the site was still probably occupied into the Saxon period and also proves later farming activity, such as ploughing, has truncated and disturbed the surface of some features. Other features also contained Saxon pottery a further indication of Post Roman settlement. The site was then abandoned and left as pasture until modern times.
