Abstract: |
In August 2019, KDK Archaeology Ltd undertook a programme of Archaeological Observation and Recording at 3 The Cottage, Mentmore, Buckinghamshire, in order to fulfil a planning condition for the construction of a single storey flat roofed side extension. All groundworks, including the ground reduction and the excavation of three footing trenches, were monitored continuously and no archaeological features or artefacts were revealed. The stratigraphy shows truncation in the form of modern made ground, which is more prevalent immediately adjacent to the existing cottage. The absence of archaeological cut features and finds is probably a result of prior building works, which caused the truncation, suggesting that archaeological features could survive outside the footprint of the development. |
