Abstract: |
John Moore Heritage Services conducted an archaeological evaluation on land to the rear of 17-41 Mill Street Oxford, north of Osney Lane (SP 505 061). The site has planning permission for erection of two storey building to provide 55 en-suite student rooms plus warden's accommodation (11/02382/FUL). One trench totalling 15m in length was excavated to the surface of the archaeology or natural ground. Two linear features were discovered; one considered to have been the tree lined road shown on the historic map of 1587 and the other a side ditch. The southern side ditch contained 19th century finds within its fill. The road has been suggested in this report to have been a 'sunken way'. It contained no dateable finds with only a piece of iron and animal bone recovered. Perhaps the iron fragment and animal bone once formed part of a rough cobbled road surface. There was no evidence for any cart ruts indicating it was primarily used for pedestrians visiting the church of St Thomas to the east of the site. Two sondages revealed the natural gravels reaching depths of a minimum of 1m. |
