Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology (WA) was commissioned by Scottish and Southern Energy Power Distribution (the Client), to undertake an archaeological watching brief to monitor ground works during excavation of a trench for proposed electricity underground cabling (hereafter, 'the Route') along Post Office Lane, Wantage, Oxfordshire. The proposed Route currently comprises a lane and open car park area. The Route runs between NGR 439952 187831 down Post Office lane and NGR 439928 187835 to the existing electricity sub-station. The Route is located in close proximity to the market place in Wantage which was an important town in the late Anglo Saxon and Medieval periods. Previous archaeological investigations in the vicinity of Post Office Lane revealed features dating to these eras. The Route is therefore considered to have some potential for archaeological features dating to the Saxon, medieval and post medieval periods. |
