Abstract:		 In February 2017 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out a programme of archaeological monitoring and recording in advance of a proposed development on land at Walkers Bridge Field, Lavendon Road, Olney, Milton Keynes. (NGR: SP 89661 52811). The proposed development comprises the construction of a modern agricultural building in the north-eastern corner of a field. The monitoring was required in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval (Milton Keynes Council Planning Ref. 16/02435/FUL). The Milton Keynes Historic Environment Record suggested there was potential for the site to reveal remains of late Iron Age to Roman date as evidence for settlement of these dates was recorded, comprising the Scheduled Ancient Monument of Ashfurlong (NHLE No. 1006918). The latter is a nationally-significant Romano-British settlement site, located to the west. Further finds from the area also demonstrate a Neolithic to Bronze Age presence. Monitoring of the excavations for the footings of the new agricultural building in the north-eastern corner of Walkers Bridge Field revealed a Roman ditch (F1009), orientated northwest/southeast and a Roman century pit (F1004). The latter cut undated Pit F1007. The fill (L1008) of Pit F1007 consisted of a compact pale grey, with red, orange and yellow mottling, crushed limestone. This suggests the possibility that the feature may have been a footing or pad for a large post. Pit F1004 may represent the deliberate removal of the post.
