Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Taylor Wimpey Oxon to undertake a second phase of archaeological trial trench evaluation at Anson Field, Marcham, Oxfordshire, centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) 445790 196747. The site comprises an area of approximately 1.5 hectares and is currently utilised as a football pitch with an area of land and children's nursery separating the pitch from a cricket pitch. The Phase II evaluation (comprising 4 trenches) targeted the existing football pitch which became available following the end of the football season. A planning application (P12/V0854) has been submitted to White Horse District Council for a residential development of up to 51 dwellings at the site and the Principal Archaeologist at Oxfordshire County Council had advised that a programme of archaeological work should be completed prior to the determination of the planning application, to ascertain the archaeological potential. The site was previously investigated by geophysical survey which revealed the remains of a possible prehistoric barrow cemetery, as well as numerous other anomalies of potentially archaeological origin. These features were investigated through the excavation of 6 trenches (Phase I evaluation) which revealed numerous remains of prehistoric date including a Bronze Age barrow and an Early/Middle Iron Age settlement, which was potentially occupied through into the Late Romano-British period. The Phase II evaluation identified further Early/Middle Iron Age features including two round houses, identified through post-holes and a drip gully and two further re-used storage pits, one of which contained a potentially deliberately placed ritual or symbolic 'structured deposition' of a cattle skull sealed beneath a layer of stones.
