Abstract:		 Evaluation: The fieldwork comprised the excavation of 9 trenches, eight of which were 30m long one 15m long, with all trenches being 2m wide. Excavation: An area measuring 58m by 62m was excavated. Evaluation: An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in March 2016 on land at Stratford Close, Aston Clinton, Buckinghamshire. Nine trenches were excavated. Later medieval and post-medieval agricultural land use was confirmed (furrows in Trench 3 with later land drains taking their alignment from earlier furrows. The results of the evaluation also indicate the presence of an Iron Age enclosure. Excavation: A programme of archaeological investigation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology between May and June 2016 at the request of CgMs Consulting (on behalf of Kier Living) at Stratford Close, Aston Clinton, Buckinghamshire. An area of 0.28ha was excavated across the development area. The excavation provided a window on part of a Middle Bronze Age (c.1500-1100BC) and Middle Iron Age (c.400-100BC) landscape. The earliest activity in this landscape for which the excavation provided evidence was the construction and use of a Middle Bronze Age enclosure ditch in the central part of the excavated area, which possibly originally enclosed part of a settlement, along with several pits. By the Middle Iron Age this enclosure had gone out of use and the landscape had been largely converted to an agricultural function with the construction of a field system, consisting of north-west/south-east oriented rectilinear blocks of land defined by ditches. To the south-west of the field system was a small Middle Iron Age sub-circular ditched enclosure or penannular gully, probably representing settlement, along with a scatter of pits and postholes. After the abandonment of the Middle Iron Age settlement and field system the excavation area appears to have been ploughed in the medieval period and continued in agricultural use until the construction of residential housing in 2016 and 2017.
