Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned undertook a watching brief during groundworks associated with the construction of a new store on land at Banbury Road, Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire. The archaeological work was undertaken on the 27th July 2015. No archaeological features were identified during the watching brief, but a very small assemblage of residual Romano-British and medieval pottery was recovered from the topsoil. The presence of these finds could indicate activity of these periods in the vicinity of the Site, or they may be derived from the manuring of fields or perhaps soil that has been brought to the Site more recently. A moderate quantity of late 19th or early/mid-20th-century glass bottles were also recovered, many of which were produced for local beverage companies. These finds are derived from an adjacent quarry's use as a refuse dump prior to the 1950s. |
