Abstract: |
A building recording and watching brief were carried out on the Coach House, garage and four boundary walls within the grounds of Kellogg College on Banbury Road, Oxford (SP 51177 07552). Analysis of the standing structure, archaeology, maps and historic data is indicative of there being some 10 phases on the site, most of which were carried out in the mid to late 19th century. The earliest phases are ephemeral in nature, phase 1 probably represents prehistoric activity on the site and may contain the oval pit that was noted as part of a Bronze Age burial. A series of plough marks were noted, which do not conform to the known direction of ploughing in the medieval, post-medieval and post-Inclosure. It is thus assumed that this phase 2 activity is older and probably Roman in date. The next phase 3 concerns the accumulation of a soil horizon, which has phase 4 cut into it that is an 18th century pit. Late 19th and 20th century pottery was all across the site and absent from this pit. There are a series of phases that subsequently relate to the 19th and 20th centuries and the foundation of Norham Manor. The stone foundations (phase 5) appear to mark the initial laying out of the properties c. 1860-65. The red brick phase 6 was dated 1865-1872. There is a phase 7a dated to 1873, while phase 7b is dated 1873-1876. Phase 8 is dated later than 1876, while phase 9 is the 20th century activity. The last phase dates to the evaluation trench in 2015. |
