Abstract:		 CFA Archaeology Ltd carried out an archaeological evaluation on a proposed development on land east of Wretchwick Farm to the south-east of Bicester, Oxfordshire (centred on SP 60200 20650). The work was commissioned by Environmental Dimension Partnership on behalf of db symmetry. The Site comprised three pasture fields along the north-east side of Akeman Street, the former route of the Roman Road now under the A41. Two rectilinear Roman ditch systems were revealed in the south-east and north-west fields separated by an area largely devoid of archaeological features. The ditches of the two systems were regularly spaced, narrow, shallow and on four orientations, clearly dug as channels to drain the heavy clay soils on this side of Bicester. The two ditch systems are strung out along the north-east side of Akeman Street and may possibly have been drainage for field systems associated with two different settlements along the Road. A single C-shaped Iron Age enclosure ditch was identified in the south-east field, possibly representing a stock enclosure.
