Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Short report on archaeological work carried out in Oxfordshire between April 2013 and April 2014, noting how many planning applications have been looked at by the county's archaeology service and how many briefs for work have been written. Summaries are presented of the following selected fieldwork projects: evaluation at north-west Bicester, revealing features of mainly Roman date; excavation of boundary ditches belonging to a late Bronze Age or early Iron Age field system, overlaid by a second field system dating to the Iron Age, prior to construction of a reservoir at Hagbourne Hill; evaluation at Old Place Yard in Bicester, revealing remains associated with priory buildings; excavations at the site of Hanwell Castle, built in 1498, which have recorded remnants of the original house and a small number of later walls; excavation of an area of Iron Age and Roman field systems and enclosures at Langford Park Farm, Bicester; excavation of later prehistoric roundhouses and Roman linear features at Oxford Road, Bicester; excavation of medieval features at Ardley Road, Somerton; evaluation at St James Road, Somerton, revealing remains of a post-medieval building overlying a possible medieval house platform; excavation of evidence for possible prehistoric field systems at Aynho Road, Adderbury; evaluation at Wykham Park Farm, Banbury, which recorded a continuation of a small Iron Age and Romano-British farmstead known to the west and a possible Neolithic causewayed enclosure; excavation of parts of the outer defensive ditch at Wallingford (Cross Keys site); evaluation within the extramural settlement area of the Roman town at Dorchester-on-Thames (Martins Lane), revealing only a small number of Roman-period features; evaluation at 9 Wittenham Lane, Dorchester-on-Thames, within the area of a Roman cemetery, revealing several further inhumations as well as a Roman layer probably associated with the settlement to the north; excavation at Bicester Village coach park, revealing a possible Bronze Age ditched enclosure, middle Iron Age pits and post-medieval features in addition to over four thousand pieces of worked flint; excavation of prehistoric settlement evidence along with a large Romano-British linear feature at Monks Farm, Grove; evaluation confirming the presence of a small later prehistoric settlement and a Romano-British farmstead at Crab Hill, Grove; excavation of the remains of a plough-damaged Bronze Age barrow with inhumation and cremation burials at Farways, Cassington; excavation within the churchyard of All Saints Church, Faringdon, which encountered over two hundred post-medieval bodies and a quantity of medieval tile as well as evidence for a small Romano-British farmstead or settlement; evaluation at Fullamoor Plantation, Culham, confirming the presence of all but one of the barrows within a barrow cemetery recorded in a cropmark survey, as well as a series of Iron Age and Roman enclosure complexes; geophysical survey and evaluation on land north-east of Witney, revealing three Bronze Age barrows that appear to form part of a more extensive barrow cemetery; recording of Bronze Age barrows amongst a series of enclosures and features dating from the later prehistoric period into the Romano-British period at land off Highworth Road, Shrivenham; monitoring at Upwood Park, identifying activity across a number of prehistoric periods in addition to a Bronze Age cremation urn, a number of pits and an undated inhumation burial; and identification of a series of enclosures dating to the 1st century AD within a field at Tackley. Work on the Historic Environment Record (HER) is also summarised, noting the number and range of consultations dealt with, new data received and added, implementation of a merger with the Oxford City Urban Archaeological Database, the beginning of a major project to digitise hard copies of HER reports and data, and progress on the county's Historic Landscape Characterisation Project.
