Abstract:		 Following an archaeological evaluation at 1 Park Town, Oxford in August 2012, John Moore Heritage Services undertook the excavation of the area of the footprint of the proposed new dwelling in September 2012. The site had previously functioned as a laboratory for D'Overbroeks School and before that as gardens for the house. Consequently, the site had been heavily truncated in places. Nevertheless, the remains of five Middle Iron Age pits and a contemporary surface were recovered in addition to a further five undated pits, which were probably also of Middle Iron Age date. This indicates the presence of later prehistoric activity complementing that on Port Meadow and at Grandpont, locating the Park Town site within the Upper Thames Valley Middle Iron Age tradition. During the 19th century the site was redeveloped. The land where Park Town now stands, which had been owned by New College and sold to the Oxford Local Board, or Board of Guardians, was to be used for the St Giles' workhouse. When the workhouse was built in Cowley, the New College land was redeveloped for the Board by Samuel Lipscomb Seckham. Although not a part of Norham Manor, owned by St John's, Park Town provided the template for the redevelopment of North Oxford. When 1 Park Town was erected a stables was also built to the rear of the property, with some garden features present, which were evidenced archaeologically and cartographically.
