Abstract:		 The archaeological works comprised the excavation of four trenches, all of which measured c 14m by c 1.6m representing a c 4% sample of the proposed development area. The trenches were positioned to target areas of significant impact from the proposed development, including the proposed footprint of the building and two soakaways, whilst also providing an even coverage of the site and avoiding on-site constraints. The modern overburden from each trench was removed using an eight tonne 360 mechanical digger under constant archaeological supervision. Subsequent excavation proceeded by hand and recording was in accordance with methodologies set out in the WSI. Where features extended more than 1m below ground level, hand-excavation ceased at 1m for Health and Safety reasons. After recording the trenches were backfilled with materials arising. Between the 7th and 10th February 2022, Oxford Archaeology undertook an archaeological evaluation at Abington School, Oxfordshire in advance of a proposed new building. Four trenches revealed several ditches, one possibly of Roman date, the others undated, and several pits of post-medieval date, two probably quarry pits. Medieval pottery was also recovered, indicating domestic activity in the vicinity. A brick-built structure and a horse burial, both likely to have been associated with the late 19th school, were also revealed.
