Abstract:		 Throughout 2010 Oxford Archaeology undertook a two-stage field evaluation of land along the proposed route of a new access road and bridge crossing for Langford Lane around the perimeter of the Scheduled Monument of Alchester Roman Town. This took the form of a magnetometer and resistivity geophysical survey followed by the excavation of 48 trial trenches. The trench arrangement was informed by previously identified cropmark features and by the current geophysical survey although this did not substantially add to the existing body of data. The trial trench phase of the evaluation covered a cross section of the Roman landscape and confirmed the accuracy of the cropmark evidence. Each of the large enclosures aligned on the Dorchester road were identified although there was scant evidence of occupation and other substantial activity within the interiors of these. Road surfaces were encountered in Trench 2 with an associated flanking ditch and a channel that probably diverted or canalised a stream alongside one of the roads. Access road or track ditches leading to the military parade ground that were excavated within Trench 4.
