Abstract: |
In June 2008 ASC carried out a watching brief at Elmwood Close, Oakley, Buckinghamshire during groundworks for a new housing development. The presence of tree throws suggest that the site lay on the edge of the Saxon royal hunting forest of Bernwood. Pottery recovered from some of these features show that it was cleared during the late medieval period, when it was peripheral to the settlement of Oakley. A number of pits, ditches and gullies were also recorded, several of which cut the infilled threethrows. A large pit containing burnt flint, degraded animal bone fragments and pottery of Bronze Age date was also noted. |
