Abstract: |
John Moore Heritage Services conducted an archaeological evaluation in advance of the proposed construction of a new development (Planning Ref: GFA/21479) on land north of Gloucester Street, Faringdon, Oxfordshire (428660 195690). Four trenches, totalling approximately 110 metres in length were excavated to the underlying natural geology. The earliest feature was a ditch of early-mid 11th century date in Trench 2 orientated on approximate north-east south-west alignment sealed beneath subsoil and topsoil deposits. A shallow curvilinear gully on the same alignment in Trench 2 was undated but was possibly of similar date. A further ditch in the same trench on a more northerly alignment was later and of probable mid 16th - 17th century date. Six undated ditches within Trench 1 were all orientated on north-east south west alignments, considered to be either associated with medieval burgage plots or drainage ditches of a medieval or post-medieval date. Two further undated shallow gullies were within Trench 3 on similar alignments. The latest features were a large pond of 17th or 18th century date and very modern features connected to a large water duct within Trench 4. |
