Abstract: |
This document represents an investigation of the potential for archaeological remains on land adjacent to Dormer House on the Ardley Road in Somerton, Oxfordshire (NGR SP 49810 28649). The Desk-Based Assessment noted that village of Somerton has a medieval origin, which could go back into the early medieval period prior to the recording of the Domesday Manor. The manor was split in the 13th century and thus there are probably two manorial centres in the village, the one is possibly located adjacent to the site to the west, while the other is probably adjacent to the site to the south. The block of land on which the site is located is shown on OS maps to have had earlier buildings and earthworks, the date and extent of which are not satisfactorily known about. Site inspection showed that earthworks are still evident on the ground. |
