Abstract: |
In August 2014, Souterrain Archaeological Services Limited carried out an archaeological watching brief during the hand-excavation of foundation trenches for a rear extension to Bradwell Memorial Hall, in Old Bradwell village, Milton Keynes. The site, which lies within the medieval core of the village is located immediately northwest of the earthwork remains of a motte and bailey. The earthworks are a Scheduled Ancient Monument, while the Memorial Hall, built in the early 1920s, is located within the designated bounds of the monument. The primary objective of the investigation was to ensure that the archaeological interest of the site was safeguarded. Nothing of archaeological significance was present and there were no artefacts earlier than the 19th/20th century. The results suggest that the ground was probably terraced in the 20th century, subsequent to which levelling deposits were laid down to enable the construction of the hall. |
