Abstract: |
The potential for buried remains on the site is high. The archaeology to the north, east and south is largely medieval, although prehistoric barrows are known from under the Ashmolean Museum. Prehistoric, Roman and Saxon pottery was been found as residual material; this is less easy to associate with specific activities in the area. It is always possible that residual pot has been brought from elsewhere. The buried medieval archaeology seems to occur between 0.3m (below Magdalen Street road) to 0.7m (below 1-12 Magdalen Street) to 2.12m below Beaumont Street. It is consequently difficult to assert unequivocally that the archaeology is deep. it may be so shallow that it is visible within the bases of the cable trenches. Certainly the historic map evidence points to the northern part of the site not having been subject to invasive activity until the 20th century. It is not clear how deep the footings associated with the building might be, although it is probable that as a late nineteenth century building in this back-quarter of Oxford, they are unlikely to be very deep. |
