Introduction
This collection comprises images from an archaeological evaluation, undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in August 2019 on land to the north of Shipton Road, Woodstock, Oxfordshire. Ten trenches were excavated and identified a possible well, cremation burial and 60 sherds of prehistoric and Roman pottery.
A number of ditches and pits were identified in the east of the site, dating to the later prehistoric and/or Roman periods. Coupled with the findings of a preceding geophysical survey, it is likely that the remains identified during the current works represent agricultural or domestic activity centred on a rectilinear enclosure. The identification of a possible well and a cremation burial within the confines of the enclosure, along with the recovery of 60 sherds of prehistoric and Roman pottery, further suggest a possible settlement focus.
