Abstract:		 An archaeological investigation and community project were undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in April and July 2019 (Stage 1 and 2 respectively) at Great Linford Manor Park, Great Linford, Milton Keynes. The site was located in the portion of the park which extends to the south of the canal, comprising part of the Wilderness and the area between the manor and current Arts Centre. The works were commissioned by The Parks Trust to inform a larger-scale National Lottery Heritage funded project to improve the site and wider park as a visitor destination, including revealing, restoring and recreating aspects of the 18th century formal grounds. A total of 7 trenches were targeted on known features of interest. The works revealed the full profile of the ha-ha which formerly bisected the eastern end of the park, including a well-preserved drystone retaining wall which survives to a height of just over 1m above present ground level covered by a layer of topsoil and vegetation. An isolated shallow ditch was encountered in the area to the west of the ha-ha, however it was not possible to determine the feature's date or function. Immediately in front of the manor house, the likely foundation pit of an ornamental sundial was investigated, the approximate location of which had been identified from historic photographs dating to the 1960s and was confirmed by the fieldwork. Approximately halfway between the pavilions and the manor, a possible robbed out wall line was encountered, together with an associated layer interpreted as a possible occupation deposit and a possible pit dating to the 12th to 14th century, pre-dating the manor and formal parkland. Similarly, in the area of the Doric Seat, two walls were encountered, cut by the Doric Seat foundations. It is possible that these features indicate activity within the area which pre-dates the establishment of the manor and park.
