Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out by John Moore Heritage Services on behalf of The Environmental Dimension Partnership (EDP) on the cropmark, Scheduled Ancient Monument OX250 on land north of Milton Park Industrial Estate, Didcot, in the parish of Sutton Courtenay. Trenching was targeted on areas of low activity as indicated by the results of geophysical survey. Evidence for some archaeological activity, extending west and south of the main cropmark site, was revealed; this dated from the late Bronze age to early Saxon. Limited Saxon activity was also revealed in the centre of the site under a post-medieval mound c. 0.7m deep, running east/west for several hundred metres. The evaluation confirmed that for the most part the apparent empty area in the centre of the scheduled monument did not contain significant archaeological remains. |
