Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology (WA) was commissioned by Taylor Wimpey Oxfordshire to undertake an archaeological evaluation on land at Hyde Copse, Marcham, Oxfordshire, which is the subject of a planning application for residential development. The site lies within an area of known archaeological potential and a previous geophysical survey of the site had identified a number of potential archaeological features. The evaluation was targeted on these features and was intended to assess the archaeological potential of the site. The evaluation did not identify any evidence for significant archaeological features, deposits or finds, but demonstrated that the majority of the features comprise of post-medieval ceramic/stone drains. An additional number of shallow narrow ditches and a likely field boundary/hedgerow were concentrated within the southern half of the evaluation area (Trenches 7-9). Except for the single modern tile from the field boundary/hedgerow 903, no new dating evidence was recovered from any of these features, although the similarity of the fills to those within the ceramic/stone drain ditches may suggest that these features are former field boundaries and, again, are probably of post medieval to modern date. |
