Introduction
This collection comprises an evaluation report and site photographs.
From the 28th to the 31st of January 2013, Oxford Archaeology carried out a trial trench evaluation on the behalf of CgMs Consulting on a site to the east of Chain Hill on the southern edge of Wantage in Oxfordshire. The trenches revealed a single pit of medieval date, and a ditch that contained a fragment of lava quern of likely Roman or mid- to late-Saxon date. Other features including ditches and postholes were undated, although a tree-throw hole contained a single piece of flint debitage. Plough furrows of possible medieval date were also noted, as was evidence of made ground of recent date within the extreme northwestern corner of the site.
