Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Network Rail, to undertake archaeological investigations comprising an archaeological excavation and a watching brief on land at the Müller Milk dairy depot, Abingdon Road, Oxford (NGR SP 51667 03956). The archaeological investigations were required in advance of construction of a proposed new culvert under the railway between Hinksey Drain and Hinksey Stream. A planning application (ref: 15/03703/FUL) was approved by Oxford City Council on 6th May 2016, subject to the condition that the construction of the permitted development shall be undertaken in accordance with the specifications in the approved plans and documents, one of which was the Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) for the described archaeological works. The archaeological excavation conducted within the footprint of the proposed new culvert during April 2016 did not identify any archaeological features or deposits. There was no evidence of the in-filled remains of a bypass channel associated with a nearby former mill, or any other associated water management features, or any evidence of palaeo-environmental and archaeological remains dating from the prehistoric or any other period. Similarly, the subsequent watching brief undertaken between June to August 2016 did not identify any archaeological remains. |
