Abstract: |
Albion Archaeology was commissioned to undertake a programme of archaeological works to fulfil a condition attached to planning permission for the erection of a garage and extensions to the Gate House, The Comps, Eaton Bray. The Gate House, The Comp, is located close to the junction with High Street/Totternhoe Road which runs the length of the village of Eaton Bray. The development comprised extensions to the house and the erection of a detached garage towards the road. Only the detached garage, set within the front garden of the Gate House, was monitored as the other works were within a previously disturbed area. The footing trenches for the garage were opened, revealing thin topsoil over a thicker subsoil. No finds were recovered from these deposits. Modern features comprising two brick-filled soakaways and an associated ceramic drain correspond to elements of the rainwater drainage system shown on the 1956 architect's drawing for the current house. No remains of archaeological significance were revealed within the footings trenches. There is no potential for further analysis or publication. |
