Abstract:		 Prehistoric occupation was represented by an isolated Middle Bronze Age pit and part of an Earliest Iron Age field/enclosure system with associated pits and postholes. A series of nineteen parallel trenches, arranged in two groups, are provisionally dated to the Roman period. They are interpreted as cultivation beds (perhaps for vines) or a form of hollow drainage. Late Anglo-Saxon activity (9th-10th century) was demonstrated by some widely dispersed pits and ditches, with no clear evidence for associated buildings or structures. Intensive medieval occupation (11th-late 13th century) was represented by a substantial 'moated site' (of uncertain function), a smaller enclosure and associated field system interpreted as a possible 'toft and croft', and a small, unenclosed settlement. The settlement areas were spread out along the line of a medieval (or earlier) road - part of a more extensive local route between Dagworth and Burford Bridge. The road was unsurfaced and in places existed as a hollow-way. The site was largely abandoned at the end of the 13th century, although the road continued in use. Following the construction of nearby Shepherd's Farm and Chilton Leys Farm in the late 15th century, fields were laid out on either side of the road, and roadside ditches were dug or enlarged. The site remained in agricultural use through the post-medieval and modern periods, with field patterns remaining virtually unchanged until the 1970s.
