Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation carried out to the south of Caldecote Farm, Willen Road, Newport Pagnell (Area A). A desk based assessment (DBA) and geophysical survey (detailed magnetometry) had been undertaken prior to the trenching. The DBA indicated that the medieval settlement of Caldecote could extend into the northern part of Area A. The geophysical survey of Area A did not reveal conclusive evidence of coherent settlement activity but large areas of disturbed magnetic background, frequently indicative of settlement, were present at the north of the site. The evaluation trenching has confirmed that remnants of medieval settlement are present at the north of Area A and that the centre and south formed part of the medieval open field system, findings consistent with the conclusions of the earlier phases of work. Recovered finds suggest that activity became less pronounced during the latter part of the medieval period and the north of Area A may have then been incorporated into an open agricultural landscape for a time until inclosed during the post medieval period. A small number of undated and dispersed post holes and shallow ditches were identified at the centre of Area A. Distributed across the wider evaluation area were dispersed and undated shallow ditches indicative of the presence of a system of agricultural land division pre or post dating the medieval open field system and pre-dating a final phase of post medieval inclosure. Limited prehistoric human activity may be defined by a relatively substantial pit which contained a small assemblage of flint artefacts of Neolithic/Bronze Age date and by undated ditches and pits.
