Abstract:		 A five tonne excavator fitted with a toothless 1.5m wide ditching bucket was used to excavate the two trenches each 10m long across the footprint of proposed dwelling and garage. Due to presence of garden features within evaluation area, trenches were slightly relocated from proposed trench locations. The ground was reduced down to the archaeological horizon and/or top of natural deposit. Archaeological deposits and features revealed were then cleaned by hand and recorded at an appropriate level. Archaeological features had written, drawn and photographic records made of them, and all deposits and features were assigned individual context numbers. All artefacts were collected, except ceramic building material where representative samples were taken, analysed and nor retained. The archaeological field evaluation was successful and meets the aims of the investigations, which were laid out in the WSI. Pit 1/05 investigated in Trench 1, which contained probable 15th – 16th century pottery and animal bones showing slice marks, is clearly result of domestic activities in the late medieval period within the evaluated site. Limestone wall foundation 2/09 and the demolition layers investigated in Trench 2 presumably represent the remains of the same structure. The dimension of the wall foundation suggests that its may possibly be related to an internal wall of a larger building or the outer wall of a small outbuilding. Dating evidence recovered from the demolition layer points to a late medieval or early post-medieval origin for the investigated remains. On-line available historic maps of Chinnor (NLS, OM), does not show any standing structure on the site, which suggest that the remains of the wall foundation and the demolition layers are related to a structure which was demolished before 1881.
