Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out in Sixty Acre Field, Watlington, in advance of a proposed sewage pipeline between Watlington and Tottenhill. Five 10m trenches were opened along the southern edge of the field, on an east-west alignment, directly adjacent to the tree-line along Thieves' Bridge Road. All of these trenches revealed a mixed, well-ploughed topsoil overlying natural gravel and boulder clay deposits. Trenches 3 and 4 contained a number of parallel north-south ditches cut into the natural gravel. A single piece of prehistoric pottery was recovered from one of these features. These ditches were of a similar date and character to those exposed in the northern half of the field during excavations in 2005. |
