Abstract: |
In April 2013 Oxford Archaeology (OA) carried out a field evaluation at Rushey Weir, Bampton, Oxfordshire on behalf of the Environment Agency. The evaluation comprised four 8 m long trenches. Three of the four trenches were targeted on the locations of known cropmarks while the fourth represented a control trench. Trench 1revealed a large tree-throw containing late Mesolithic or early Neolithic flints, and a small pit that contained a single sherd of late Bronze Age pottery. Trench 2 revealed a large pit of Medieval date with pottery and animal bone, cut by a shallow N-S orientated ditch. Trench 4 revealed one of the two ditches that were present as cropmark evidence. This feature was fairly substantial and contained medieval pottery sherds. It was cut by a large pit containing more medieval pottery but this feature appeared to cut the subsoil and the sherds may be residual. Trench 3 was the control trench and revealed a possible pit and a posthole, with no finds and part of a feature that has been interpreted as a treethrow or paleochannel which contained a small number of struck flint. |
