Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology during groundworks associated with the construction of an extension and service trenches at the Memorial Hall, Camp Road, Oldbury-on-Severn, South Gloucestershire. A large ditch, measuring at least 5m in width and 2.2m in depth, was identified. Although a small assemblage of 12th to 14th-century pottery was recovered from its uppermost surviving fills, which may themselves represent heavily eroded bank material, the ditch is interpreted as the outer ditch of Oldbury Camp hillfort. The ditch was later cut by three medieval pits or ditches. Two ditches were identified 5m to the west and 6m to the east of large ditch. That to the west possibly represents a medieval boundary, while the eastern most ditch contained 19th-century ceramics and may form a later boundary along Camp Road. |
