Abstract
Eastcotts Flood Scheme, Nr Bedford
Mike Luke
Ben Barker
Jo Barker
3 - 5
Reports on the archaeological investigation of about sixteen hectares of land on both sides of the Elstow Brook near Harrowden in advance of flood defence works. The development brought an opportunity to study the evolution of the landscape from the early Iron Age, through the Iron Age and Roman periods into the early Saxon period. The presence of flint tools and flakes also hinted at human activity in the late Mesolithic, Neolithic and Bronze Age. LD
A Peterborough Ware pit group from Potton Road, Biggleswade, Bedfordshire
Andy Chapman
11 - 14
Reports on the excavation of a group of three Neolithic pits, identified by evaluation ahead of development on agricultural land east of Potton Road, Biggleswade. Pottery recovered from the pits partially represented four vessels in the Peterborough ware tradition. LD
Abingdon, Old Gaol
David R Gilbert
P Riccoboni
38 - 39
Reports on archaeological investigations to the rear of Twickenham House in Abingdon, which provided an invaluable insight into the archaeology and history of the town. Good preservation of features and finds fitted neatly into an ever-growing picture of the Iron Age settlement, with features seeming to relate to a dense settlement where industrial activities such as the manufacture of textiles and metal objects took place. Later surfaces indicated a change of function in this area during the Roman period. Medieval and post-medieval pits were also present, along with a medieval linear feature that may represent the remains of a boundary dividing separate tenement plots in the rear gardens of properties that fronted onto Bridge Street and Turn Again Lane.

Grange Farm, Balscote
P Clark
48 - 49
Reports on a detailed survey undertaken during restoration work at Grange Farm, Balscote, Oxfordshire, an early 16th century three-unit cross-passage hall house. The removal of wall plaster and ceilings revealed hidden internal wall joints, blocked openings, ceiling details and changes in mortars. LD
Brightwell Park 2010 interim report
Ian Clarke
Janet Eastment
49 - 55
Reports on an excavation undertaken in 2010 as part of the Brightwell Baldwin Community History and Archaeology Project, run by the South Oxfordshire Archaeological Group. A resistance meter survey in Brightwell Park in 2008/09 located the site of the old 'Manor of Parkes', which was burnt down in 1788. It revealed an extensive complex of buildings and clear signs of formal Italianate gardens, and in 2009 an exploratory excavation targeted part of the manor house buildings. In 2010 the previous year's trench was partly reopened and extended to the south and west to look for evidence of a gateway or gatehouse. The findings were such that it is necessary to substantially revise a number of the provisional interpretations from 2009. LD
Stanford in the Vale Research Project; Priors Farm
David Ashby
55 - 57
The ongoing Stanford in the Vale Research Project, which commenced in 2008, aims to either prove or disprove the theory that Stanford in the Vale was an early medieval town which, at some point, reduced in size to that of a village, which it remains to this day. In 2009 two trenches were excavated, revealing two Anglo-Saxon features, two medieval buildings, a medieval cobbled surface and residual Bronze Age and Roman finds. In 2010 no excavation was carried out. Instead, archaeological survey work was undertaken, including earthworks survey, resistivity survey, magnetometry survey, ground penetrating radar, and an auger survey. The results from these are discussed in this short report, and planned work for the 2011 excavation season is outlined. LD
The Vale and Ridgeway Project; Excavations at Marcham/Frilford 2010: interim repo...
Zena Kamash
Chris Gosden
Gary Lock
62 - 68
Reports on the 2010 excavation season of a long-running project in Oxfordshire which acts as a training excavation and is committed to education in the widest sense, with participants from across the world as well as a selection of British schools and universities. Work in 2010 focused on Trendles Field, in two different areas: the area of the Roman religious complex, and an area of predominantly Iron Age activity. LD
Geophysical Survey in Garford, Oxfordshire
William Wintle
John Hawes
68 - 73
Since 2001 the University of Oxford has been excavating a Late Iron Age and Roman site at Trendles Field in Marcham, Oxfordshire, and this has stimulated wider research into the landscape of these periods in the Vale of White Horse. This report describes the results from a number of recent geophysical surveys in Garford. Areas surveyed included a Bronze Age barrow cemetery as well as Iron Age and Roman settlement. LD
