Abstract: |
Archaeological field evaluation, via trial trenching, was undertaken by Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd on Land off Risborough Road, Stoke Mandevile, Buckinghamshire. Agricultural use of the land was identified in the form of field boundary ditches and shallow drainage ditches. A complex of intercutting ditches in the north-west of the site suggested more intensive agricultural use of the land in this area, possibly forming the southern extent of a wider co-axial type or gridded field system. There was a distinct lack of dateable material from the majority of features with top and subsoil deposits also devoid of residual artefactual material of any period, noticeably more recent material. Former ridge and furrow agriculture was also attested in two fields. The evidence of evaluation suggests that the land lay away from the focus of settlement of any historic period and had been utilised as agricultural land for a protracted period. |
