Abstract:		 In July 2021, an evaluation trench was excavated in a small 20th / 21st century coniferous plantation at Walker's Bridge Farm, Olney, Buckinghamshire. The site lies on a south-facing slope above the River Great Ouse. On account of the site's proximity to a Romano-British settlement at Ash Furlong (a Scheduled Monument) the purpose of the investigation was to determine whether or not significant buried archaeological remains might be affected by the construction of a new farm dwelling. This, in turn, would assist the planning authority's archaeological advisor to decide, if required, the scope and level of any archaeological mitigation work. The trench (c. 13 m by c. 1.8 m) was positioned along the length of the proposed building footprint, to provide a representative sample (c. 25 %) of the area to be affected by the development. A substantial depth of topsoil and subsoil (c. 1 m) was encountered, which appeared to be the combined result of modern plantation groundwork and post-medieval cultivation. Buried beneath this were the truncated remains of three 'negative' features of Romano-British date. These comprised a pit, a ditch, and a ditch or pit. A small assemblage of pottery sherds was recovered, together with a few animal bones. The pottery was largely a locally-produced type, one rim sherd of which is considered to date from the late 3rd century AD. The assemblage includes residual regional and imported wares of late 1st to early to mid 2nd century date.
