Abstract:		 In October 2016, Cotswold Archaeology (CA) carried out an eighteen trench evaluation on land north of Milton Road, Adderbury, Oxfordshire. The fieldwork was undertaken as part of conditions attached to the approved planning application for the residential development of the site. Archaeological interest in the site is derived from its location within a wider historic landscape, notably the historic village of Adderbury, as well as its proximity to two potential roman villas to the north and south of the site and a 14th century manor house to the north of the site, partly within the Adderbury conservation area. A geophysical survey identified two potential ring ditches, a circular pit/post-hole structure, a potential ditched trackway and a large linear ditch which transects the site on a north/south orientation. A number of other anomalies also required testing. The evaluation identified evidence for the presence of buried archaeological remains within the site, comprising a pit, two ring ditches, a linear trackway, and a linear hollow way. There was good correlation between the archaeological features encountered during the evaluation and the results of the geophysical survey, especially with those features previously mentioned where trenches deliberately targeted anomalies. Broadly representative of the geophysical survey results the evaluation identified a number of predominantly undated, but probable post-medieval/modern ditches across the site. They can be associated with the prevailing alignment of the surrounding field systems and former field systems depicted on historic and current Ordnance Survey mapping. The ditches are likely to represent boundary and/or drainage features and associated agricultural land-use. A modern horse burial was recorded in the east of the site, cutting through the subsoil and is likely to have been deposited during the working life of the farmhouse to the north.
