Introduction

Survey of areas 17-19 in order to locate extent of ring ditches previously found near Gorse Hill, Coleshill, Oxfordshire.
Survey of areas 17-19 in order to locate extent of ring ditches previously found near Gorse Hill, Coleshill, Oxfordshire.

This collection comprises datasets (CAD, Geophysics and GIS) from a detailed magnetometry survey carried out by Archaeological Surveys Ltd during September 2021. This survey work was undertaken along a new section of a water main route near Coleshill in Oxfordshire and was requested as an addition to three areas previously surveyed during the initial scoping for the location of a new water main between Faringdon and Blunsdon.

The original survey located evidence for prehistoric settlement laid out as two linear groups within a single field to the south of Gorse Hill on the Buscot estate. The results of the current survey indicate a continuation of the prehistoric settlement southwards for another 100m. The features include a number of ring ditches, relating to probable Iron Age round houses, as well as a number of small square enclosures and conjoined sub-circular enclosures.

A number of discrete positive responses have also been located, which could relate to pits or areas of burning along with a group that appear to form a circle and could relate to former post-holes. A fragmented linear anomaly may form a south western boundary to the features, but no clear boundary feature can be seen in the south east or east.
