Data from a Trial Trench Evaluation at Upper Wendover Dean Farm, Buckinghamshire, 2019-2021 (HS2 Phase One)

This collection comprises a digital archive of photographs, reports and scanned site records from a trial trench evaluation by INFRA Archaeology on land at Upper Wendover Dean Farm, Buckinghamshire. The evaluation was carried out in two phases during February 2019 and January 2021. A total of 51 trenches were excavated, which exposed a small scatter of Iron Age features, including four pits and a ditch in three trenches. A further four trenches exposed another pit, gully, ditch and three post holes which were undated. A single fragment of human vertebra was recovered from an environmental soil sample. The Trial Trench Evaluation has demonstrated that there was very limited archaeological activity across the Site and this information can be used to inform an appropriate mitigation strategy.
