Monument record MBC43642 - North east of Buckslow Farm, Swanbourne

Enclosures of possible Iron Age date are visible on historic aerial photographs as cropmarks and were mapped as part of the North Buckinghamshire Aerial Investigation and Mapping project (EBC18304). Located approximately 650m to the north east of Buckslow Farm and centred at SP 79843 25607. A group of three enclosures comprising a large subrectangular enclosure (650x48m), and a smaller subrectangular enclosure (18x20m) and a curvilinear (almost triangular - 26m across). This area was covered by ridge and furrow earthworks in the 1940s but land use had changed to arable by the late 20th century and no earthworks are visible on any remote sensing data (1).

Cropmarks of a large rectangular enclosure possibly later prehistoric in date with two smaller adjacent enclosures visible on aerial photographs. All are defined by a single ditch. The larger enclosure is located at SP 7983 2564 and has an entrance in its SE side. It measures in the region of 55m x 80m. The adjacent enclosures are located to the south-east and are considerably smaller, one rectilinear, the other more polygonal. The cropmark remains of medieval ridge and furrow can be seen extending across much of the field (2).
