Abstract: |
In January 2006, OA carried out a fieldwalking survey on a strip of land consisting of three fields north of the A420, west of pinewoods Road and west of Longworth, Kingston Bagpuize, Oxfordshire,(NGR SU 3850 9850). A scatter of flint artefacts, more than first anticipated, was collected which dated from the Mesolithic to the Bronze Age period. Three separate scatters have been identified. Pottery was also found and this mostly lay in field 3, to the north, and dated from the Iron Age to the post-medieval period. A small quantity of other post-medieval material, including glass, clay tobacco pipe and ceramic building material was also collected. During February 2006, OA carried out a field evaluation that comprised test pits and sieving on the same site on behalf of Hanson Aggragates Ltd. The test pitting results mirrored the distributions seen in the fieldwalking plots from January 2006. The test pit evaluation revealed worked flint, mainly to the north- east of Field 2, although no significant concentration of activity were identified. Manuring scatters of Roman, medieval and post-medieval date were also observed principally in Field 3 in the north of the area, although post-medieval finds were more widespread. Two layers which could represent archaeological features were found in test pits to the south of field 3. |
