Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology (CA) in January 2014 at the request of Redcliffe Homes on land off Station Road, Uffington, Oxfordshire. Twenty two trenches were excavated. Significant evidence for Middle to Late Romano-British settlement activity was recorded including ditches, a possible cobbled surface and large amounts of iron working slag. Large quantities of pottery were recovered covering the broad period from Late Iron Age/Early Romano British through to the 4th Century AD indicating sustained and moderately substantial settlement in close vicinity. A dark lens of occupational material was evident across much of the site and yielded large quantities of pottery and other artefacts including a clipped Early Romano-British copper alloy coin and a fragment of a Romano-British pewter vessel. Evidence of Medieval/post-medieval plough furrows were also identified across the site. |
