Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in October 2015 at land off Wasperton Lane, Chalgrove, Oxfordshire. The work was carried out in order to fulfil a planning condition that was attached to planning consent for the expansion of the existing business park and the construction of a photovoltaic solar array. The fieldwork comprised the excavation of a single trench. Archaeological interest in the site derives from its location c.750m south-west of recorded prehistoric and Roman activity identified at Warpsgrove and from its use during the Second World War as an airbase. The airfield and runways are located to the immediate west of the site. Trenching revealed the cement, brick and mortar bases of three buildings, associated with Chalgrove airfield, which was occupied by photo-reconnaissance units of the United States Army Air-Force during the Second World War |
