Abstract: |
In November and December 2015 an archaeological Strip, Map and Sample excavation was carried out at the land adjacent and garden to 34 Oving Road, Whitchurch, Buckinghamshire, in advance of a small-scale housing development on the site. The excavation exposed a number of pits, post-holes, a deposit interpreted as a burning episode, and evidence of terracing all thought to be from the post-medieval to modern periods. The pits were thought to be backyard activity associated with 34 Oving Road, a 17th century grade II listed house, but there is the possibility that the post-holes are related to single structure, though too few were identified to draw any firm conclusions as to its function. A single sherd of Iron Age pottery was also recovered from one of the pits that was most likely residual, but may suggest earlier activity within the site vicinity. |
