Abstract: |
Oxford Archaeology has undertaken a small programme of investigation and recording at St Laurence Church West Challow Oxfordshire. The recording included scaled drawings, plans, elevations, photographs and written descriptions. The work concentrated on a set of stones discovered during the construction of the French drainage ditch which may have formed an extension of the nave. No firm conclusions can be made regarding the date of the stones, however assumptions can be made regarding their purpose.
The distance the blocks are set apart would indicate that they are foundations for an archway or tower structure. Another possible scenario could see the limestone block foundations supproting a redundant door.
The stones are unlikely to be an extension of the nave as they stand out from the west side of the church. The possibility of the stones being part of an earlier structure is best suited to the evidence provided by the spacing and positioning of the stones.
There is no evidence beneath the south wall of any clear phasing or building breaks. |
