Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out by Souterrain in March 2021 during the excavation of foundation trenches for a new carriage house in the rear garden of The Old Rectory, Broughton, Milton Keynes. The site falls within the historic core of Broughton, where previous excavations in proximity to the site have revealed significant Romano-British, Saxon and later remains. The foundation trenches were, however, excavated in modern made-up ground, largely formed of rubble from a fairly recently demolished brick-built outbuilding. Other than the surface of a possible 19th century/ 20th century feature which was skimmed over in the base of the northern trench at 62.33 m OD, the trenches were not deep enough to expose any significant archaeology. The Application Site and development area thus preserves its potential for buried archaeology. |
