Abstract:		 Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey covering 55 hectares on land to the north of Princes Risborough, to provide information about the archaeological potential of the site in advance of proposed development. The survey has identified three areas of definite archaeological potential. Within the north-west of the site, parallel with Lower Ickneild Way, linear ditches have been identified corresponding to the projected route of a possible prehistoric trackway, subsequently a Roman road (Buckinghamshire HER MBC11085). Further south a D-shaped enclosure and a sub-rectangular enclosure have been identified on slightly elevated ground either side of Mill Brook. Numerous discrete anomalies within the interior of the enclosures are ascribed a possible archaeological origin, perhaps being due to soil-filled pits. Elsewhere, faint linear anomalies within the north of the survey area correspond closely to the site of a possible windmill (Buckinghamshire HER MBC6693) and may be of archaeological interest, whilst magnetic disturbance on the southern bank of Mill Brook may be due to buried structural remains, perhaps a mill. Anomalies indicative of medieval or post-medieval ridge and furrow cultivation are visible across most of the site. There is no indication from any other source to suggest that the magnetic data provides anything other than an accurate representation of the sub-surface conditions within the survey area. Therefore, based solely on the results and interpretation of the data, the archaeological potential of the site is considered to be low to moderate, and locally high.
