Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation consisting of eleven 30m x 2m trenches was undertaken on land to the south of Church Farm, Slapton, Buckingham. It was advised by the Senior Archaeology Planning Officer that a geophysical survey and scheme of trial trenching should be completed in order to inform a planning application that is currently under consideration for the construction of a solar farm and associated infrastructure.. The development site is situated 750m to the south east of the village of Slapton. A desk based assessment identified known archaeological remains dating to the Iron Age and early Roman periods immediately adjacent to the application site and within the 1km study area. There is, therefore, high potential for archaeological remains of dating to these periods within the application site. Out of the eleven trenches excavated seven were archaeologically negative, whilst four contained multiple archaeological features that have been dated to the Iron Age/Roman period. These features were mainly linear in nature, with the finds suggesting domestic activity in the area. |
