Abstract: |
John Moore Heritage Services carried out an evaluation on land adjacent to, and south of, the parish Church of St Mary, Southend, Garsington, Oxfordshire, OX44 9DD centred on NGR SP58089 01986. The excavations revealed 10, possibly 11, ditches across the site with a minimum number of ditches equalling 8. Two pits were also identified and a negative feature which may also have been a pit was found. Dateable pottery was recovered from 10 contexts, and 6 of these were related to five ditches. The majority of these ditches contained 6th and 7th century pottery and one ditch contained residual Roman pottery. Another ditch contained a fragment of red slipped mortaria, which may date this ditch to the 4th century. It is possible though that the continuation of this ditch may be the same as a section of ditch further to the NW which contained pottery of 6th or 7th century date. A piece of 12th to 14th century pottery was recovered from one ditch which may date this feature and related ditches towards the SW corner of the site to the later medieval period. It is however possible that this fragment was infiltrated or poorly stratified. No underground features were identified that related to the possible medieval holloway indicated on LIDAR imagery and it is possible that this linear feature and another identified relate to the still in use public footpaths that run E-W and N-S across the site. |
