Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in November 2010 in the car park of the Eastgate Hotel car park, Oxford. Two trenches were excavated. The top fills of two probable pits of late 13th or 14th-century date were excavated. Residual pottery of the same date was present in both trenches. The site appears then not to have been occupied until the mid to late 17th century when a single storey building, or buildings, was erected. The walls were robbed in the later 17th or 18th centuries and a layer of soil was imported raising the ground level by c. 0.5m. At least three pits were cut through this soil and backfilled with building rubble. A further layer of soil was imported before brick rubble was spread and a tarmac surface laid to create the present car park. No trace of the town ditch were identified. |
