Abstract:		 In September 2014, in accordance with NPPF, a programme of archaeological evaluation (trialtrenching) took place on c.25 hectares of farmland at Gawcott Farm, Gawcott, Buckinghamshire (centred on NGR: SP 68315 32598). The evaluation was commissioned by Harper Solar Ltd and Farm Renewables, and was conducted in accordance with a Written Scheme of Investigation approved by Buckinghamshire County Council's Senior Archaeological Planning Officer. The results will be used to inform a planning application. A previous Desk-Based Assessment (DBA) of the site (CA 2014) and a geophysical survey of the proposed development zone had identified the area as having low archaeological potential. 15 trial trenches (30m x 2m) were excavated across the proposed development site. Once excavated the archaeological evidence mirrored the DBA and geophysical survey results with eight trenches (1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13 and 14) containing no archaeology. Three (5, 10 and 15) contained purely remnants of ridge and furrow field systems. A number of these furrows were investigated and each of them had diffuse edges and the typical shallow furrow profile. Finally, two trenches (3 and 6) contained a single feature, a pit in each. Out of these two pits, just one (in trench 6) contained stratified finds, consisting of three fragments of animal bone.
