Abstract: |
During late 2012 and early 2013 a phased programme of archaeological investigation comprising strip, map, sample excavations (SMS) and evaluation trenching, was carried out at land off Drayton Road, Newton Leys, Buckinghamshire. A large assemblage of struck flint, interpreted as locating significant Neolithic or Bronze Age activity, was recovered during fieldwalking of the area in 1995. However, archaeological features of these periods were not identified during the SMS or trenching and a total of only three residual flint artefacts was recovered. The results of the SMS and trenching were otherwise consistent with recent archaeological investigations completed at, or near, the site. The earliest identified evidence comprised dispersed and truncated ditch segments defining remnants of part of the field system of a middle Iron Age settlement excavated slightly to the north. The site then appears to have been little used until it was incorporated into the medieval open field system of Newton Longville and it has since seen continuous agricultural use. |
