Abstract: |
A watching brief was undertaken by John Moore Heritage Services during ground works for a new build at Monks Mede, Burton Lane, Monks Risborough, Buckinghamshire (SP 8122 0430). The site has planning permission for the erection of a detached 3 bed dwelling and detached single garage with double car port, access via driveway to Monks Mede and erection of new driveway and parking area (12/05330/FUL). A total of four site visits were made intermittently during 17th-21st January 2013 and one visit to inspect the service trench during May 2013. Following the initial topsoil stripping, all of the wall footing trenches and service runs were monitored. The archaeological features were mainly undated and comprised of three discrete features and two ditches. The ditch originally discovered in the evaluation trench was further examined and an additional larger ditch was encountered at the far western end of the excavations with one sherd of medieval pottery recovered on the surface of its fill. The large quarry pit was also further examined in the excavations for the new garage and one animal bone was recovered from the trench section. A confidence rating is high that the best possible results were achieved. |
