Abstract:		 John Moore Heritage Services conducted an archaeological watching brief as a condition of planning permission (11/01443/FUL) for redevelopment at Thornhill Walk, Abingdon, Oxfordshire (SU 4927 9803). A variety of features and finds were discovered which indicate the site was occupied during the 2nd century AD. Layers (1003) and (1006) contained a mix of prehistoric and Roman pottery sherds. The layers did not extend beyond posthole 1005 and pit 1026 and are perhaps related to a shallow Roman quarry pit. Posthole 1005 and pit 1026 have been identified as Roman as they cut through deposits (1003) and (1006). Other gullies and postholes across the site are either Roman or undated. None are proved to be from an earlier prehistoric settlement at the site. The high percentage of prehistoric sherds (36% of the entire assemblage), were found with Roman sherds or in features cut through Roman deposits. The whole prehistoric assemblage is therefore considered as residual.
