Abstract: |
John Moore Heritage Services conducted a watching brief during the excavation of service holes in connection with the replacement of a water pipe at Church Street, Chipping Norton (Centred: SP 312 272). A total of three site visits were made over the period from 23rd to 25th November 2010 and nine service holes were monitored. The ground works involved initial hardstanding removal by pneumatic drill followed by further reduction using 360º excavator and/or hand tools. The existing water main was usually found at a depth of c. 0.30m from the present ground surface at which point excavation ceased. The surface of the natural geology was seen in some of the larger service holes but no archaeological features seen. The earliest finds were early post-medieval pottery sherds found in Service holes 3, 4 and 5. |
