Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken adjacent to the towpath flanking the wall that formerly surrounded the Cistercian Abbey of Rewley in Oxford. The towpath was adjacent to the River Thames, and the work was undertaken north of the end of Upper Fisher Row. The watching brief was commissioned by Oxford City Council in advance of the construction of a new footpath with new lighting. The watching brief revealed probable 19th century building footings and brick-built surfaces of comparable date, presumably associated with demolished structures along the riverside. The structural remains were overlain by a general spread of rich loam topsoil that had also accumulated over the former path. Medieval deposits known on the site were not impacted in the course of the work. [Au(abr)] |
