Abstract: |
The evaluation fieldwork comprised the excavation of 25no 30m x 1.8m trenches. The trenches were located to test geophysical anomalies and to provide a
representative sample of the remainder of the site. In August 2022, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation of land at of
land north of Merton Road, Ambrosden, Cherwell, Oxfordshire. A total of 25 trenches were
excavated.
The evaluation recorded a number of residual prehistoric worked flints, although only one
ditch appeared to be prehistoric in date.
There was evidence for medieval ridge and furrow agriculture throughout the site, as well as
a small number of other medieval features.
The eastern part of the site contained limestone walls and substantial ditches corresponding
to a square enclosure recorded by a previous geophysical survey. Associated dating
evidence was mainly post-medieval in date. It is possible that these features represent
ornamental garden/park features associated with an 18th-century landscaped park known to
have existed in this area. |
