Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey, covering approximately 15 hectares, on land surrounding Drayton Lodge Farm, on the north-western outskirts of Banbury, in order to provide information on the archaeological potential of the site prior to proposed development. Anomalies consistent with multi-period archaeological activity have been identified across all parts of the site confirming a desk-based assessment which concluded that the site had moderate to high potential for the presence of prehistoric and Roman remains. To the north-west of Drayton Lodge a particularly complex series of anomalies defines a settlement covering approximately 2 hectares with probable evidence of industrial activity; this may be of regional significance. To the east of the settlement a rectilinear field system extends across the remainder of the northern half of the site. Of particular note are three kiln type anomalies. A much more complex arrangement of enclosures extends across almost the whole of the area to the south of the lodge. On the basis of the geophysical survey the archaeological potential of the site is moderate to high throughout and very high to the north-west of Drayton Lodge. |
