Abstract:		 Rectory Homes submitted a planning application to Oxford City Council for a residential development on land adjacent to Hawthorne House, Hill Top Road, Oxford. The proposed development comprised the erection of three 4-bed dwelling houses along with the provision for amenity space and car parking spaces. A desk-based heritage statement was submitted in support of the application. The Oxford City Council Archaeologist (OCCA) advised that field evaluation was necessary to provide additional information on potential heritage assets that might be affected by the proposals. Accordingly, Rectory Homes commissioned a geophysical survey (SUMO 2019) that identified several anomalies, some of which were interpreted as potential kilns. The OCCA requested trial trenching to test the geophysical anomalies and issued a brief, outlining the extent of the required works. The trial trenching of the proposed development area took place on 28th August 2019. No archaeological remains or unstratified artefacts were present within the trenches. Modern deposits, including brick and concrete, were found to overlie and be mixed in with the topsoil of the trenches, suggesting material had been dumped in this area and the existing topsoil disturbed during the process. The thicker areas of these deposits broadly correlated with the anomalies identified in the geophysical survey as possible kilns. It is thought that the presence of this modern material and the associated disturbance may be responsible for the geophysical anomalies. The absence of remains here suggests that the known prehistoric and Roman activity to the south-west and east does not continue into the area.
