Abstract:		 John Moore Heritage Services conducted an archaeological evaluation in advance of new planning proposals on land off Drayton Rd, Abingdon, Oxfordshire (centred SU 4855 9572). Twenty two trenches were excavated to the underlying natural geology or uppermost surface of the archaeology. The archaeological evaluation followed a geophysical survey (Stratascan 2012) of the site and confirmed suspected archaeological anomalies in four of the trenches. Other anomalies across the site were tested in the field and considered to be natural. Near the centre of the field, trenches 18 and 22 contained features which comprised most commonly ditches, pits and postholes, which would fit the character of a prehistoric farmstead. The only dating evidence recovered from the evaluation was mid to late Iron Age pottery leading to the suggestion that a small farmstead with simple outlying fields, marked by ditched boundaries, once occupied this site during the mid to late 1st Millenium BC. The site was probably abandoned during the 1st century BC.
