Abstract: |
John Moore Heritage Services carried out an archaeological field evaluation at 8 Malthouse Lane in Dorchester-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. The aims of investigation were to establish if features related to the nearby Roman and medieval activates are present in this area. Two trenches were excavated across the footprints of the proposed extension to the existing dwelling (Fig. 1). In Trench 1 were encountered an occupation layer and remains of a wall foundation dating to the 4th century AD. The upper deposit within the trench was a homogenous layer representing modern disturbance. In Trench 2, three layers and one pit were identified. The two lower layers were related with 4th century Roman occupation and the upper layer was identical with the upper layer in the Trench 1. The cut feature partially exposed within the trench, represents a mid-20th century rubbish pit or soakaway. The finds recovered during the evaluation shows intensive Roman occupation of the site up to late 4th century, some limited activities during the Saxon and medieval period and increasing of activities from the late post-medieval up to present days. |
