Abstract:		 John Moore Heritage Services carried out a pre-determination archaeological evaluation in advance of new planning proposals on land north of Home Farm, Merton, Oxfordshire (centred SP 58971 19155). Eighteen trenches were excavated to the underlying natural geology or uppermost surface of the archaeology. The trenches were located over areas to be affected by new cable trenching and electricity invertors. The earliest features were sealed by a layer of alluvial clay seen only in the south-western corner of the field. Although no finds were within the fills of the features it is assumed that these were late prehistoric or early Roman features. Other ditches found along the western side of the site did contain Roman pottery sherds and are considered Roman drainage or boundary ditches associated with a Roman farm close to the town of Alchester. Within Trenches 7 and 18 were features containing Saxon pottery sherds. These may have been part of two buildings. The site was used for arable agriculture from the medieval period onwards as ridge and furrow can be seen across the field on satellite images. More recently there has been modern drainage trenching and removal of previous field boundaries across the site.
