Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation (Stage 1) was undertaken at the Cattle Market, North Street, Thame, Oxfordshire (NGR SP 70835 06075). It was undertaken on behalf of Sainsbury's Supermarkets Ltd, who intends to construct a retail development and community centre, with associated car parking, access and landscaping, for which a planning application has been submitted. Two trenches were excavated during this stage of investigations; one off the street frontage to the west; and a second at the rear to the east. Within Trench 2 a curvilinear feature is conjectured to be of prehistoric or Romano-British date. It may represent a drainage feature, possibly an eaves drip gully associated with a structure, although no structural remains or associated features were identified within the confines of the trench. The feature was sealed below a subsoil, at 0.79m depth below the present surface. It is of at least moderate and local archaeological significance. A large pit or pond feature was revealed within Trench 1. This extended across and beyond the limits of the trench. However the edges appear to lie close to the south and eastern ends of the trench. Its northern and western extents were indeterminate. The function of the feature is unclear. It does not appear to be directly associated within demolition of the house, although the ceramic building material within it may relate to the building. The date of its excavation is also unclear. The artefacts recovered indicate that it remained open into the first half of the 20th century. All artefacts recovered were of post-medieval and later date. No in situ structural remains of the manor house were identified, as had been anticipated from the desk-based assessment. The potential still remains however for the house and associatedstructures to exist within and along the western boundary of the site, to the north of Trench1.
