Land to the South of Haddenham Airfield (Zones 2 and 6), Haddenham, Buckinghamshire

Abstract

In response to a condition on the outline planning consent for the redevelopment of land to the south of Haddenham Airfield, Haddenham, Bucks, the Heritage Network was commissioned by the developers of Zones 2 and 6 to undertake a programme of archaeological monitoring of ground reduction across both Zones. The present groundworks lay within previously identified areas of archaeological potential. It was considered that the present investigation had the potential to contribute to a greater understanding of the origins and development of Haddenham from the prehistoric period onwards. The archaeological fieldwork in Zones 6 and 2 identified a number of linear features, together with a probable post-medieval quarry pit. The majority of the linear features appeared to represent either medieval plough furrows, related to the blocks of ridge and furrow cultivation previously recorded across the entire site. Two other linear features [A103] and [E103]) appear to represent post-medieval drainage trenches. A section excavated through a long north-west to south-east aligned linear feature in Trench 2 of Zone 6 ([E101]) produced late prehistoric pottery from the ditch fill. The feature, which was observed in Zone 2 and investigated in Trenches 6 and 7 during the evaluation phase, appears to represent a major landscape feature of late Bronze Age or Early Iron Age date. The recovered evidence indicates that the site has been in use since at least the prehistoric period.
