Abstract: |
In April 2014, Oxford Archaeology was commissioned by Savills (UK) Ltd on behalf of Jesus College, Oxford, to undertake an archaeological watching brief during the installation of a new platform lift and the excavation of service trenches for electric lighting and a sprinkler system within the First Quad, Jesus College, Oxford (SP 51409 06350). A trench for the installation of a new rainwater collection tank encountered significant archaeological deposits which will be the subject of a separate report. The remainder of the trenches did not impact below the 19th century garden soils of the quad, and no significant archaeological deposits or features were revealed. The exceptions to this were two brick-lined drainage channels which were aligned off existing downpipes within the quad. As the existing downpipes appear to be contemporary with the crenellations added to the buildings within the First Quad in the early 19th century (or at the very least incorporated into the new configuration), it seems likely that the brick drainage channels date from this phase of works. |
