Abstract: |
In April 2009, ASC undertook an archaeological evaluation at Horseshoe Farm, North End, Ravenstone, Milton Keynes, in advance of the construction of a single storey dwelling on the site. A single L-shaped trench was excavated within the footprint of the proposed dwelling, revealing a cobbled surface and a wall footing, thought to be associated with buildings shown on the site on 19th century mapping. A brick floor was also uncovered within the trench. This was at a higher level than the wall footing or cobbled surface, suggesting it was associated with a later building, and may have been part of an early floor surface associated with a recently demolished barn. All three features were associated with post medieval tile and brick. The site had evidently been terraced at some point, creating a sharp fall in ground level of approximately 3m between the eastern end of the site and the road to the west. The lack of any earlier archaeological finds or features suggests that it was truncated during the post-medieval period. |
