Abstract: |
John Moore Heritage Services conducted an archaeological evaluation at 80 High Street in Dorchester-on Thames, Oxfordshire (NGR 5775 9462) in August 2010. It is the intention to submit a planning application for the demolition of the existing building and the erection of a replacement dwelling. The archaeological field evaluation described in this report was carried out as a step in the application process. Two trenches were opened up in the garden belonging to the property. A number of ditches and pits were found in the trenches and the pottery in the fills suggests they can be dated to both the Roman period and the early medieval. Residual sherds of Anglo Saxon pottery indicate occupation in the area in the 5th and 6th centuries. The amount of alluvium above the archaeological horizon will allow both a raft foundation and the excavation for services, leaving the archaeology preserved in situ. |
