Abstract: |
Between 25th and 29th November 2013 Foundations Archaeology undertook a programme of archaeological evaluation on land off Skimmingdish Lane, Bicester, Oxfordshire. The project comprised the excavation and recording of ten trenches within a proposed development area. The trenches were located in order to provide a representative sample of the study area. The evaluation identified the presence of a small number of features, which comprised former agricultural boundaries or drainage ditches and isolated possible pits. The features remained undated. However, three of the ditches and one of the pits were demonstrably earlier than the subsoil and, as such, were likely to be of some antiquity. The low number of features, along with a general paucity of artefacts within the site, indicated that this activity was likely to be situated on the periphery of any settlement or funerary focus. |
