Abstract:		 The assessment was undertaken prior to redevelopment. The site was situated c.2km west of the Dorchester-Alchester Roman road, in an area of archaeological and historical interest known to have been the centre of a substantial Roman pottery industry in the 2nd to 4th centuries. Following the decline of this industry, the area of Cowley Marsh was likely to have remained largely undeveloped until the 19th century. The Marsh was a large stretch of common land between the medieval settlement at Temple Cowley and the hospital at St Bartholomew. The cartographic evidence dated only from the 18th century but it was not until the 1700's that a building first appeared on the site. Prior to this, up until the 1920s, the main use of the site appeared to have been as a cricket ground. The bus depot was apparently constructed some time in the 1920s but the land to the rear remained in use as playing fields. [Au(adp)]
