Data from an Archaeological Evaluation at South of Rose Farm, Longwick, Buckinghamshire, July-August 2019

This digital archive comprises images, vector, spreadsheet, GIS, report and site record data from an evaluation at Land South of Rose Farm, Longwick, Buckinghamshire (NGR SP 78603 05065). The work was undertaken by John Moore Heritage Services in July and August 2019. The evaluation was successful in determining the archaeological character of the site. 7 trenches contained archaeological features; of particular interest were two small pits containing charcoal rich fills in trenches 8 and 10. Ditches and shallow gulleys were present in trenches 1, 4, 8 and 11; with the exception of trench 11 these were found in association with possible posthole features. The date of these features is unclear, however they do not appear to correspond to the alignment of the ridge and furrow, perhaps suggesting an earlier date. Extant ridge and furrow was visible across the southern half of the site and furrows were seen to truncate the natural geology in places. The shallow depth of many features and the lack of a natural subsoil indicates that medieval and post-medieval ploughing of the site has resulted in relatively substantial truncation of any surviving archaeology.
