Project Harry, Snelshall East, Milton Keynes - Report on Archaeological Excavations

Wessex Archaeology

The Geophysical Survey identified the presence of linear and other anomalies on the Site suggestive of archaeological features. The subsequent field evaluation identified an area in the southeast corner of the site where archaeological deposits and features survived above the 104m contour above Ordnance Datum.

Subsequent excavation revealed the truncated remains of three phases of Roman enclosure, pitting and a putative, semi-circular, lean-to structure. These features were overlain by the remnants of relict medieval cultivation terraces known as ridge-and furrow.
