Abstract: |
John Moore Heritage Services carried out an archaeological watching brief at 46 Hythe Bridge Street in Oxford (NGR SP 50806 06350). The aims of investigations were to preserve by record any archaeological remains which would be impacted upon by the development; in particular to record any archaeological remains relating to medieval and post-medieval activity. The only possible hard standing associated with a quayside was an area of sandy gravel (133) found in the central and northeast portion of the north part of the basement. This was found above the land reclamation/raising of the ground level deposits (see below). The earliest phase was represented by alluvial deposit (134). Above this were deposits considered to represent land reclamation or raising of the ground level for the river crossing. Finds recovered from these deposits were dated to the period from 14th to mid 16th century and presumably mostly relate to activity where this material originated. Some of the finds may be contemporary with the land reclamation/raising of the ground level. The dating of the finds suggests that this happened on this site during the mid 16th century. The next phase was represented by deposit (104) and its associated deposits. The finds recovered from these deposits were broadly dated to period from the late 15th to early 17th century. This deposit seems to represent made ground which was presumably formed during the period from the late 16th to early 17th century. The last phase began with construction of present three storey building in the second half of 19th century, with continued development of site and changes of its use up to present day. |
