Abstract: |
Oxford Archaeology South (OAS) was commissioned by Ede Homes Ltd to undertake an archaeological evaluation of the site of a proposed residential development centred on NGR SP 3107 1040. The work was undertaken in May 2016. A total of 13 trenches were excavated and arranged to provide an even coverage of the site and to target geophysical anomalies.Post-medieval activity within the site was represented by a single ENW-WSWaligned boundary ditch identified as a geophysical anomaly and excavated in two separate trenches. Artefactual, stratigraphic and cartographic evidence indicated that this boundary ditch comprised part of a field system pre-dating the 1842 Charterville Allotments. While no direct prehistoric activity, settlement or otherwise, was recorded within the site, a natural feature was found to contain material dated to the early Bronze Age. The early Bronze Age pottery and a notable quantity of hazelnut shells recovered from its basal fill were interpreted as residual, most likely belonging to a buried soil deposited through natural processes. |
