Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Greencore Construction Ltd, to undertake an archaeological watching brief. The monitored works covered 0.08 hectares, centred on NGR SU 45450 96580, at 6 Mill Road, Marcham, Oxfordshire, OX13 6NZ. The work was carried out in response to planning conditions (ref: P15/V1758/FUL) placed on the development by the Vale of the White Horse District Council.The archaeological works monitored several areas of topsoil stripping principally to the west side of the site and several areas close to the rear of the existing property. The principal west area was monitored on two separate occasions, due to identified topsoil contamination and included the complete removal of the contaminated material and the importing of new topsoil. The underlying natural limestone deposits were identified in all monitored areas. Within the west area, the remains of a possible stone wall were recorded. No associated finds or features were found with this feature and it is thought to be possibly related to post medieval agricultural buildings or boundaries. Several sherds of were recovered from the general topsoil layer during the course of the watching brief. These have been dated to the medieval and post medieval periods. The lack of significant archaeological features or deposits is largely attributed to the fact that the established focus of occupation in Marcham, certainly in the medieval period, is some distance from the historic core of the settlement to the north-west. However, the presence of small amounts of medieval redeposited pottery would suggest that there was some amount of activity in the immediate area. The mixed nature of the topsoil is attributed to mainly post-medieval use of the site particularly the 19th and early 20th century when there was a small foundry on the site
