Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by RPS Planning and Development to carry out an archaeological evaluation on land proposed for development at Manor Place (centred on NGR 452108 206600), located to the east side of Oxford in the Holywell area of the city. Documentary sources (including Loggan's 1675 birds-eye view of Oxford), indicate the archaeological potential of the Site is dominated by the likely line of the outer defences of Oxford passing through the Site, constructed in 1644-5 during the English Civil War. The evaluation comprised the excavation of three linear evaluation trenches, two of which due to the presence of protected trees (the Site is within a Conservation Area) were divided into two separate lengths. Although the trenches were arrayed evenly across the Site, Trench 1 was located to specifically target the potential line of the Civil War defences. A contingency was also included for up to three boreholes to allow retrieval of samples at depth should substantial features (such as the defensive ditch) be revealed. The evaluation has confirmed both the documented presence within the Site of a part of Oxford's Civil War defensive circuit, and specifically detail on Loggan's 1675 bird's eye view of the city regarding the possibility of a deliberate entrance through the defences at this location.
