Abstract:		 A desk-based assessment was undertaken of land north of Lavendon Road, Olney, Milton Keynes (centred on NGR SP 8909 5235). It was undertaken on behalf of Arthur Amos Associates, in advance of a proposed development. The assessment identified there is limited potential for early prehistoric remains to be present within the proposed development site. The site is located adjacent to a scheduled Roman settlement site, which may have its origins in the Iron Age. There is high potential for the settlement and/or other activity to extend into the proposed development area. An archaeological evaluation to the west of the development site identified early medieval remains so there is a moderate potential for early medieval remains to extend into the proposed development site. During the medieval and later periods the site appears to have been part of the wider agricultural landscape of Olney so any below ground remains are likely to be of limited heritage interest. One short section of historically important hedgerow was identified during the assessment. The desk-based assessment identified that early-mid 20th century quarrying activity has potentially truncated any archaeological remains in the western half of the site, and therefore this part of the site is considered to have low archaeological potential.
