Abstract: |
In December 2005 Archaeological Services and Consultancy Ltd (ASC) carried out historic building assessment and desk-based assessment of Oddy Hill Bungalow, Fox Road, Wigginton in order to assess the impact of any future planning proposal for the site with specific regard to the historic environment. The timber built bungalow, which was probably built as a farm labourer's cottage, originally had only 3 rooms and dates from 1931. It has subsequently been extended and modernised and now has 7 rooms and modern services apart from gas. The land on which it was built appears to have been open farmland from at least the medieval period. Within the site are two former ponds and a trackway known locally as 'The Roman Ditch'. A demolition layer found in the SW corner of the meadow during the installation of a pipeline in 2000 suggests the presence of another structure on the site. This may well have been an outhouse associated with the bungalow. |
