Abstract:		 Oxford Archaeology (OA) was commissioned by EDP to undertake an earthwork survey, field evaluation and test pitting on land at Wolvercote, North Oxford. The earthwork survey helped to ground-truth the results of the existing LiDAR data providing a contour survey of the upstanding ridge and furrow preserved in the Northeast field. Two orientations of ridge and furrow were identified, potentially of different date. Eight test pits were dug through the furrows to identify any manuring spreads and collect any other information that might supplement our understanding of these features. The pits identified three agricultural layers were present; topsoil, former ploughsoil and subsoil, but with no evidence of significant manuring spreads. Finds recovered from the test pits were mostly of later post-medieval date apart from a few fragments of possibly medieval CBM and pottery. A second phase of evaluation trenching also took place in the three areas of the proposed development, supplementing an earlier evaluation in the central area. The results were consistent with the earlier investigations and no features of archaeological origin were revealed, apart from plough furrows. Based on the result of this and the previous surveys, the site is considered to have low archaeological potential.
