Abstract: |
An Archaeological Watching Brief was carried out during the construction of 7 new dwellings and associated aervices at Street Farm, Oakley. Although only two archaeological features were recorded there was evidence for occupation during several periods. A small number of residually derived fragments of worked flint hint at the possibility of prehistoric occupation in the vicinity of the site. A single pit has been assigned a medieval date, although the dating evidence (a single sherd of 11th to 12th century pottery) was very sparse. Unfortunately, the evidence is insufficient to suggest anything about the precise nature of occupation during the period. A second feature could be interpreted as a post-hole but unfortunately could not be dated. Evidence of post-medieval occupation in the form of building remains was recorded in the far north-western corner of the site. It is worth noting that no building is indicated in that part of the site on the First Edition (1880s) Ordnance Survey map, which may suggest that the remains encountered during this Watching Brief were demolished before the last quarter of the 19th century. |
