Abstract: |
In October 2014, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation on land east of Newington Road, Stadhampton, Oxfordshire. A previous geophysical survey of the site identified a series of anomalies thought to relate to a series of enclosure ditches and other features. A previous archaeological evaluation of the northern part of the site confirmed the presence of field or enclosure boundaries dating to the 1st century AD. The present evaluation recorded a large Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age pit at the site. It should be noted, however, that no evidence for further activity of this date was uncovered by either phase of evaluation at the site, with the exception of a single residual sherd of Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age pottery recovered from the topsoil during the present evaluation. The evaluation also recorded the remains of a medieval ridge and furrow agricultural system and late post-medieval/modern ploughing, as well as a single isolated undated posthole. Only one of the geophysical anomalies was identified as an archaeological feature. There were numerous other anomalies which were not found to correspond to below-ground features, and these are likely to have derived from near-surface geological variations and modern activity. |
