Abstract: |
On 10th and 11th February 2014 Foundations Archaeology undertook a programme of archaeological evaluation on land at Saxon Gate, East Hanney, Oxfordshire. The project comprised the excavation and recording of five trenches within a proposed development area. Due to extensive surface flooding it was not possible to excavate trenches in the north-western part of the site. Most of the features identified within the trenches were not excavated due to trench flooding and, as such, the majority of features were recorded in plan only. The evaluation identified the presence of former possible agricultural boundaries or drainage ditches, as well as a number of possible furrow bases and a possible natural clay deposit. Due to a general paucity of artefacts, along with the limited nature of the investigation, the features remained undated. There was no evidence for any significant clusters of features and it is therefore most likely that the on-site remains represented former agricultural activity, which occurred on the periphery of any settlement focus. |
