Abstract:		 In September 2016, OA excavated four trial trenches and three test pits at the Morris Garage Building, Longwall Street, Oxford prior to a proposed development to the rear, and refurbishment of the building. The development is on the site of the in-filled medieval defensive ditch (with the southern limit of the site corresponding with the line of the outer defensive wall). The former Morris Garage, built in 1910, then the site was redeveloped in the early 1980s when only the frontage was retained. Trench 1 revealed the northern face of an E-W orientated stone wall, under the current brick wall and foundation. Orientated along the line of the site's southern boundary it possibly represents remains of the medieval outer defensive wall, or a rebuild or repair. Earlier N-S orientated stonework was observed below the brick wall forming the current western boundary in Trenches 2 and 5; no dating evidence was recovered but this wall appears on 19th century maps. An internal mortar floor in Trench 1 was overlain with modern rubble probably representing the floor to 19/20th century building, seen on contemporary maps. A layer of rubble overlay an external cobbled courtyard surface in Trench 4, probably associated with the Morris Garage. Most deposits were associated with the 1980s' redevelopment suggesting that the ground level to the rear of the Longwall Street frontage had been raised at this time, burying the demolished remains of the former buildings by between 0.60-0.70m (c59.75mOD) to achieve the current levels (c 60.40m OD).
