Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd conducted an archaeological evaluation on land at Stanton Low Country Park, Stantonbury, Milton Keynes. This was in response to a requirement for archaeological investigation identified by Milton Keynes Council, to inform and enhance the interpretation and presentation of the earthworks and associated archaeological remains at Stanton Low Country Park. This evaluation consisted of an archaeological geophysical survey, which identified the 17th century manor house and the layout of the associated gardens. This indicated that the potential for archaeological survival of the house and gardens was extremely high, and was subsequently tested by a trial-trench evaluation. This trial-trench evaluation uncovered structural remains of the 17th century manor house and designed garden features associated with the house (fitting with the results from the geophysical survey), evidence for the demolition of the house and gardens, and evidence for earlier activity in this area. The trial-trench evaluation therefore demonstrates that survival of the 17th century manor house and associated formal gardens is very good. |
