Abstract: |
John Moore Heritage Services conducted an evaluation as part of planning consent for a demolition and new build on the site of Swan Wood House, Highmoor, Oxfordshire (NGR SU 69594 85604). The current house is of whitewashed brick and was constructed in the 1940s and is of little architectural merit. The brief called for the opening up of 3 trenches 20m long, but the location of the third trench due to concrete paving meant that it was necessary to move this and divide it into a 12m and 8m long sections. Only in Trench 2 was any archaeology detected and this was a pit with burning of a probable 1940s+ date. There was no evidence for the Roman pottery kilns that were suspected in the area, but to show that John Moore Heritage Services carried this out with due diligence the finds of the modern pit were noted. |
