Abstract:		 The watching brief was maintained during all intrusive groundworks within the area shown on Figure 2. These works comprised the machine excavation of c.160m long by 300mm deep service trench. In July 2021, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological watching brief as a condition of Scheduled Monument Consent during groundworks for the installation of a new water pipe at Manor Farm, Old Wolverton, Milton Keynes. The route of the pipe lies within Scheduled Monument 1013660 - Motte and Bailey Castle, deserted village and monastic grange at Old Wolverton. In order to minimise the risk of encountering archaeological remains that would be damaged or destroyed by the excavation of the pipe trench then condition D of the Scheduled Monument Consent stipulated that: the depth of the pipe trench should not exceed 350mm and the width should not exceed 300mm. Consequently, the natural geological substrate was not encountered within the maximum depth of excavation, which was 0.3m below present ground level. The stratigraphic sequence seen in the pipe trench comprised a probable subsoil that was in turn sealed by topsoil. No features or deposits of archaeological interest were observed and no artefactual material was recovered. The absence of archaeological deposits is most likely due to a combination of the pipe route avoiding extant earthworks and other known features of significance within the Scheduled Area and the shallow depth of the groundworks (0.3m bpg), which were designed to be minimally intrusive to any archaeological remains present.
