Abstract: |
Northamptonshire Archaeology was commissioned by Oxford Archaeology, on behalf of Hyder Consulting, to conduct a magnetometer survey of land proposed for the construction of the Bicester 'Eco Town'. The survey was successful in identifying archaeological features within much of the area. A previous aerial photography survey had identified cropmarks, indicating a concentration of archaeological features throughout the area. The geophysical survey confirmed and expanded upon the presence of these features. Particular concentrations of features were located in the north of the area. These included sub-rectangular and sub-circular ditched enclosures, curvilinear ditches and pits, likely to be of late prehistoric or Roman date. Other foci of archaeological features were detected in the north and west of the area. Of particular interest was a possible, long curving droveway or crowding alley in the west of the site. |
