Abstract: |
MOLA Northampton was commissioned by CgMs Consulting to undertake a trial trench evaluation on land at Kickles Farm, Newport Pagnell, Milton Keynes. A geophysical survey had already identified a sub-rectangular enclosure with less distinct scattered stretches of probable ditches. The trial trenches largely confirmed the presence of the features identified in the geophysical survey but also found additional curvilinear ditches and isolated pits. The large sub-rectangular enclosure is tentatively dated to the Iron Age which follows earlier evidence for early-middle Iron Age ditches and pits. Furrows indicative of medieval ridge and furrow cultivation were present in several trenches and correlate well with the linear features identified in the geophysical survey. |
