Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey covering 33 hectares at land north of Abingdon Road, Kingston Bagpuize, Oxfordshire, in advance of the proposed development of the site. The survey has identified an isolated ring-ditch, a probable barrow, within the centre of the site. No further anomalies of definite archaeological potential have been identified although a possible ditch has been identified close to Aelfrith Dyke, an early medieval boundary which forms the western site limit. Rectilinear anomalies towards the south of the site have been ascribed some archaeological potential, perhaps being due to a ditched enclosure, although a geological origin is plausible. Five areas of possible extraction have been suggested whilst, within the south of the site, anomalies have been identified which correspond to the former RAF Kingston Bagpuize airfield. Overall, based on the results and interpretation of the survey, the archaeological potential across the majority of the site is considered to be low, confirming the results of the Archaeological and Heritage Assessment. The only exception is the ring-ditch which is ascribed a high archaeological potential. |
