Abstract: |
In response to a condition on the outline planning consent for the redevelopment of land to the south of Haddenham Airfield, Haddenham, Bucks., the Heritage Network was commissioned by the developers of Zone 5 to undertake a programme of archaeological monitoring of the ground reduction for an access road and an attenuation tank. These lay within an area of archaeological potential at the south-western end of Zone 5, defined following a previous archaeological assessment of the airfield. It was considered that the present investigation had the potential to contribute to a greater understanding of the origins and development of Haddenham from the prehistoric period onwards. No evidence for activity predating the medieval period was recorded during the course of the present project. Five linear features were revealed during the course of the work, four in the access road area and one in the attenuation tank area. The accumulated evidence suggests that three of the linears recorded in the access road represent the bases of medieval or post-medieval furrows. Cartographic evidence indicates that the southern linear feature in the access road and the feature encountered in the area of the attenuation tank to the west are likely to represent boundaries established by 1820, and which survived at least partially within the landscape until the late 1930s. The recovered evidence indicates that the site has been used for agriculture since at least the medieval period. |
