Abstract: |
John Moore Heritage Services carried out an archaeological field evaluation on land to the rear of St Anne's Grange, Drayton Road in Newton Longville, Buckinghamshire (NGR SP 84900 31320 centred). The aims of evaluation in particular were to record any medieval and/or post-medieval village settlement elements. The fieldwork comprised a scheme for the mechanical and limited hand excavation of three trial trenches across the site with a total length of 65 m. No features related to medieval or post-medieval period were encountered during the evaluation. A single residual late medieval pottery sherd and several fragments of pottery dated to 16th - 18th century were recovered from the upper part of a natural deposit within Trench 2. Those finds may possibly be related to garden activities related with an orchard shown on OS maps from 1881 to 1889 or with landscaping of the area after the construction of a tennis court presumably in 1990s. Within Trench 1 were six postholes which were part of fence shown on 1881 OS map 1:2500. The following 1898 OS map 1:2500 shows changes in plot arrangement within the area, and the fence is not shown on this and folioing maps. At the north-northeast and of Trench 1 was recorded a levelling layer containing building demolition rubble presumably related to the demolition of an outbuilding in late 1960s, which was standing to the west of the Trench 1, shown on OS maps dated from 1881 to 1968. A further deposit recorded within Trench 1 was related to garden activities. Trench 3 was blank from the archaeological point of view. |
