Abstract:		 Northamptonshire Archaeology was commissioned by EDP on behalf of Taylor Wimpey UK to conduct an archaeological evaluation, comprising the excavation of thirteen trial trenches on land north of Witney. Three ring ditches, identified during an earlier geophysical survey, were confirmed to be the remains of three denuded Bronze Age round barrows, all located on Cornbrash geology in the southern part of the site. Although no associated cremations or inhumations were positively identified, either within the ring ditches or as satellite deposits, a possible pit in the centre of one of the ring ditches may be a central inhumation/cremation burial. The barrows appear to be part of a wider cemetery, with other examples recorded to the south-east. A shallow, interrupted ditch mirrored the change in geology across the site, perhaps indicating a change in land use. A small amount of pottery may date it to the Roman period. Several post-medieval/modern field boundaries were also identified.
