Abstract:		 The excavation uncovered three phases of archaeological activity that ranged from the Saxon to post-medieval periods. Phase 1 comprised a 'dark soil horizon', identified on previous excavations on the site and around Aylesbury. It included finds of residual Iron Age, early Saxon, medieval and post-medieval pottery. The residual Iron Age pottery was probably associated with the Iron Age hillfort in which the site stands. The deposit may have started to be formed at some point in the Saxon period with substantial reworking during later periods of activity. Phase 2 was represented by five articulated, extended, supine burials, cut through the soil horizon into the natural strata. The earliest comprised a row of four burials aligned northwest-southeast, heads to the northwest. The deepest of these produced a radiocarbon date of AD 650-690. The fifth individual overlay the deepest burial and possibly cut a further burial that was aligned east-west, head to the west. No grave goods were present. The burials are thought to be part of a wider cemetery associated with a minster within the vicinity. Phase 3 was post-medieval, comprising a number of pits and a construction cut for the site boundary wall. One of the pits contained a collection of disarticulated human bone from a single individual, probably representing a modern re-interment of an individual from the earlier cemetery.
