13-51 Eskdale Road and 47-63 Station Road, Stoke Mandeville, Buckinghamshire. Archaeological Evaluation (OASIS ID: heritage1-257684)

In order to investigate the archaeological potential of a proposed residential development site on land to the r/o 13-51 Eskdale Road and 47-63 Station Road, Stoke Mandeville, Bucks. the Heritage Network was commissioned to undertake field evaluation of the site by trial trenching. Ten trenches were located in three defined areas, which were sited to avoid nesting birds. Each trench measured 15m in length and between 1.80m and 2m in width. No features, deposits or finds of archaeological significance were encountered. A number of modern field drains were revealed in Trenches 4 and 7 and a modern demolition spread, presumably relating to an outbuilding such as a shed, was exposed in Trench 3. One abraded fragment of late post-medieval peg tile was recovered during the sampling of the topsoil. This was discarded on site. No other finds were encountered during the sampling of the top and subsoils. On the basis of the results of the evaluation, the risk that the proposed development might have a negative impact on remains of archaeological significance may be considered to be Low for all periods.

为调查位于英国白金汉郡斯托克曼德维尔埃斯代尔路13-51号与车站路47-63号拟用于住宅开发地块的考古潜力，遗产网络（Heritage Network）受委托通过试挖探沟对该场地开展现场考古评估。本次共在三个划定区域内布设10条探沟，布设时避开了鸟类筑巢区域。单条探沟长度为15米，宽度介于1.80米至2米之间。
本次评估未发现任何具有考古价值的遗迹、堆积层或出土遗物。在4号与7号探沟内揭露出现代农田排水沟，3号探沟内则暴露出现代拆迁堆积层，推测与棚屋一类的附属建筑相关。在表层土壤采样过程中，采集到一块后中世纪晚期的磨损钉状陶瓦残片，该残片已在现场被丢弃。对表层及下层土壤的采样未发现其他遗物。
基于本次评估结果，拟议住宅开发项目对各时期考古遗存产生负面影响的风险等级可判定为低。
