Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in October 2018 at The Harlow Centre, Raymund Road, Oxford. The fieldwork comprised the excavation of five evaluation trenches. Archaeological interest in the site is derived from its proximity to the historic village of Old Marston. The site lies to the south-east of an area where possible archaeological remains have been identified from cropmarks shown on Google Earth imagery. Previous evaluation on the site identified archaeological remains concentrated within the southern part of the site, with a single ditch identified in the west of the site. The identified features, comprising a series of ditches, likely forming enclosures or field systems, were assigned to the Middle Iron Age, Late Iron Age to Early Roman (1st century BC to late 1st century AD), Roman (2nd to 4th century) and medieval to post-medieval periods. Despite the archaeological potential of the site, the present evaluation did not identify any archaeological features or deposits. A single sherd of pottery broadly attributable to the Iron Age was recovered from within the topsoil. The lack of finds, features or deposits exposed during the present works confirms that the previous evaluation accurately defined the limits of the archaeological remains at the site. |
