Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Kings Park Leisure Ltd, to undertake an archaeological evaluation of an approximate 0.14 ha parcel of land located at the former H and L Site, Limborough Road, Wantage, Oxfordshire, OX12 9AJ, centred on National Grid Reference 439855 188210. The proposed development comprises the demolition of the existing commercial building on site and erection of a new retail unit, two office spaces, fourteen dwellings and car parking facilities. A planning application (P15/V2490/FUL) submitted to the Vale of White Horse District Council (VoWHDC), was granted, subject to conditions, requiring production of an approved Written Scheme of Investigation (Condition 15) in advance of a staged programme of archaeological evaluation and mitigation (Condition 16). The evaluation comprised two trial trenches and two test pits (the latter originally proposed as one single trench) and was undertaken from the 15th to the 17th November 2017. Following on-site consultation with Hugh Coddington (County Archaeologist for Oxfordshire), excavation of an additional mitigation trench was undertaken from the 17th to the 21st November 2017. |
