Data from a Trial Trenching at Rocky Lane, Buckinghamshire, 2019-2022 (HS2 Phase One)

This collection comprises a digital archive of photographs, GIS, spreadsheets, reports and scanned site records from an archaeological evaluation undertaken by INFRA Archaeology on land at Rocky Lane, near Wendover Dean, Buckinghamshire in January and February 2019.
Archaeological remains were recorded in 2 of the 57 trenches excavated, these being a possible medieval pit in trench 19 and a possible dew-pond and burnt-out tree-bole in trench 16. The results of the archaeological evaluation identified sparse activity from the prehistoric period, possibly indicative of nearby settlement-related activity taking place in the vicinity. The results fulfilled the aims of the evaluation by confirming the presence, date and condition of surviving archaeological remains at Rocky Lane, and the absence of gravel deposits, alluvium and buried land surfaces. The archive presented here also has the potential to address HERDS research objectives KC5 and KC15 when used alongside existing and future research surrounding Prehistoric settlement in the region.
