Abstract:		 A total area of c.6.2 hectares was excavated concentrating on two related occupation areas c.200m apart (Areas 1 and 2). Areas 1 and 2 were occupied respectively from the Middle Iron Age (c.4th century BC or later) to the Late Roman period (late 4th century AD) and the Late Iron Age (c.1st century BC) to the Middle Roman period (later 2nd century AD). There was also a minor earlier prehistoric component within Area 1 comprising four or five small pits dating to the Early Neolithic, Early and late Bronze periods as well as late medieval/early post medieval furrows across both areas.The settlement was about average status in all periods. It is likely to have started as pits and linear ditches and grew into a farmstead by the late Iron Age. In the very late Iron Age/Early Roman period it grew in size to represent possibly around three extended families and then declined in size in the Middle Roman period. Of significance was a ritual area within Area 1. There were c.43 Late Iron Age and Roman cremations of the Aylesford-Swarling type dating from c. AD0-AD150. This is the largest cremation assemblage so far found in Buckinghamshire. This 'religious' area continued to be respected/visited long after disuse when, for example, a Middle Roman shrine was placed adjacent to the former main cremation enclosure.
