Abstract: |
Between the 28th of February and 11th of April 2013 Oxford Archaeology (OA) carried out a field evaluation in the tennis courts, coach park and the area north of Waste Court rugby pitch on behalf of Abingdon School, Abingdon, Oxfordshire, ahead of the construction of a new science centre and coach park. Eight evaluation trenches covering an area of 225 sq m in total were excavated. The main focus of interest was a cropmark believed to represent a ploughed out ring ditch in the eastern part of the site, and the periphery of a larger cropmark ring-ditch at the north-west corner of the site. The eastern cropmark proved to be illusory, and that part of the site peripheral to the other ring-ditch to have been largely quarried away. A scatter of post-medieval features of 19th-20th century date was found further south beneath the school tennis courts, including one residual Early Iron Age sherd, but nothing else. |
