Abstract: |
John Moore Heritage Services maintained an archaeological watching brief during groundworks of the construction of a new extension (Planning Ref: 12/00526/F-1) at 1 Church Street, Somerton, Oxfordshire (SP 4975 2861). The ground works involved the removal of a 'mound' proved to be natural ground and the excavation of one wall footing trench and the reduction of the area beneath the previous kitchen. The side extension was not monitored as the footing trenches were over an area which had already been reduced in the recent years to clear the garden (see plates 1 and 2). Church Street itself seems to have been a deeply set hollow way leading to the church. One pit dated by just a single pottery sherd to the early post-medieval period, was probably an organic waste pit instated by the early inhabitants of the cottage. No other archaeological features or finds were apparent and a confidence rating is high that the best possible results were achieved. |
