Abstract: |
John Moore Heritage Services carried out an archaeological field evaluation at land off Orchard Way, Harwell, Oxfordshire. Two machine-dug trenches each 30 m long each were excavated across the site. Field evaluation confirmed that the extent of the large Iron Age and Romano British settlement investigated to the north of the site on the south side of Grove Lane (JMHS 2014, OHaNET 2014) extended this far south. In both trenches a major boundary/drainage ditch was recorded containing Romano British pottery dated to 2nd to 4th centuries. A small pit in trench 1 contained Romano British pottery dated to the same as well. Additional undated features (rectilinear ditch, gully and a second ditch), however could be of the same date. Two possible furrows, presumably medieval or post-medieval in date, were identified in Trench 2. These features might be related to the wider ridge and furrow field system within the area. |
