Abstract: |
This document represents an investigation of the potential for archaeological remains on land at 7 Barton Village Road, Barton, Oxford (NGR SP 5507 0783). An Iron Age settlement has been detected some 300m to the east of the site, while Roman and early medieval material turn up sporadically across the Barton area. There is insufficient data to positively predict that archaeology of this date will be recovered on the proposal site. Barton is known from documentary sources to be the location of a medieval hamlet, and the proposal site lies within the probable area of the hamlet, as can be indicated by later maps from the 18th century. The medieval settlement developed into a post-medieval settlement, and from old photographs of the site either from the very late 19th century or early 20th century it is possible to suggest that the site contained two cottages of a probable 17th century date, for which the plan is unknown, and a further structure which contains an arch possibly of the later 15th or 16th centuries. These structures survived until the mid to late 20th century when they were partially demolished. The front wall of these structures survives and has been included erroneously as part of a historic boundary wall of Barton Manor (this listing and any assertions about it cannot be maintained). The site has been left as garden since that time, some of which is now overgrown. |
