Abstract: |
Archaeological recording was carried out in November 2016 at Priory Cottages, Priory Road, Heythrop, Oxfordshire during the creation of a menage and stables with access road. The work was carried out due to the proximity of the development site to Cold Norton deserted medieval village and a mid-12th century Augustinian Priory associated hospital. Priory Cottages were a pair of dwellings built sometime between 1881 and 1900 along the side of Priory Road, probably for labourers. Development was in the northern half of a field lying on the west side of the cottages and resulted in the excavation of two stepped areas. The northern third of the site was excavated initially to the surface of the natural substrate, but no archaeological deposits were observed in association with this layer. The central area of the site was reduced to the surface of the relict subsoil layer whilst the remaining area to the south was left unexcavated. Supported by an absence of finds, the results indicate little evidence of earlier human activity within the site before the occupation of Priory Cottages. |
