Abstract: |
A Heritage Impact Assessment was carried out on land to the north of the Witney Road, Long Hanborough, Oxfordshire. A 1.5km search radius was carried out around the centre of the site, which produced evidence of a series of monuments dating from the Palaeolithic to the Neolithic.Geophysical survey work managed to pick up the remains of a large ditch, which extends to the north and also to the southeast. It would appear that this is a linear boundary ditch that cuts off a large part of the Hanborough parish, probably creating a large woodland enclosure, which could be a nemeton or hagen.The evidence for Roman activity in the area is considerable, and there is certainly Roman activity recognised to the west of the field. Two Roman box flew tiles were recovered from the west side of the field, which is indicative of a Roman villa existing in the near vicinity. The evidence of early medieval activity in the search area is also low, while high medieval and later activity is focussed in the areas of the villages of Long Hanborough and Church Hanborough. The aerial photographs indicate that the south of the proposal area was covered in curving ridge and furrow. The shape of this would indicate that it was oxen ploughed and that it was of an early date. Millward End is the location of a Conservation Area, which has some nine listed buildings and a number of buildings that are locally listed. Though there are a number of listed buildings along Millwood End, it is apparent that only one listed building would be impacted visually. |
