Abstract: |
The main aim of the work was to record any archaeological remains revealed or disturbed by the development, to collate the records in an archaeological archive and present the significant aspects of the archive in a report for dissemination. The secondary aim was to form an understanding of the remains recorded in terms of their character and date, and to place the evidence in its local and regional context. The objective of the work was a programme of supervised excavation to development formation levels, or the geological natural, whichever the higher. The work undertaken involved the examination of early map evidence as well as records of archaeological remains in the area and local historical journals and other publications. An experienced archaeologist was made available for each day of ground disturbance when notified by the client in accordance with WSI. Where potential archaeological deposits were encountered, the supervising archaeologist assessed or recorded these before they were disturbed by the machine. Observation of the groundworks for the development resulted in no significant archaeological deposits or remains being revealed. No evidence associated with the medieval settlement at Bloxham or of any earlier activity associated with Roman or prehistoric period was revealed. The groundworks in the internal areas were of insufficient depth to reveal any potential archaeological remains. Whilst the foundation trenches revealed evidence of the localised impact of the construction of the previous building on any potential archaeological remains. |
