Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Land at the corner of Lavendon Road and Warrington Road, Olney, Milton Keynes (NGR SP 8909 5235). It was commissioned by David Janney of Riley Consulting, in advance of the construction of a proposed supermarket for which a planning application has been submitted. The proposed development site is located next to the scheduled Roman settlement site of Ashfurlong. An earlier evaluation, undertaken on the western part of the proposed development site in 2010, had established that this area was heavily disturbed by 19th century quarrying and did not identify any surviving archaeological remains. The present evaluation was located on the eastern part of the site and identified two Roman linear features and two undated potential archaeological features. These features almost certainly relate to the scheduled Roman settlement site to the north although whether they represent a continuation of occupation features or agricultural features in the wider landscape is uncertain. No evidence of modern truncation or features was exposed in the eastern part of the site, indicating that this part of the site was not disturbed by 19th century quarrying. |
