Abstract: |
In June 2017, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation on land north of Nethercote Road, Tackley, Oxfordshire. The work, which was commissioned by The Environmental Dimension Partnership (EDP) on behalf of Barwood Homes Ltd, was required in order to fulfil a condition that had been attached to planning consent by West Oxfordshire District Council for the residential development of the site. Seven of the nine evaluation trenches revealed no features or deposits of archaeological significance but a small pit and a north-east/south-west aligned ditch were exposed in a trench in a north-central part of the site, both of which appeared to be of Middle Bronze Age date, indicating that there was some activity during this period in the vicinity, though not extending to any of the other evaluation trenches. These features appear to be associated with an intermittent geophysical anomaly extending to the west. In a trench towards the south of the site a large pit or ditch terminus produced finds of mid-16th- to 18th-century date, whilst a more extensive feature, further to the east in the same trench indicated 18th- to 19th-century activity. Again, there was no evidence of this post-medieval activity extending to other trenches. |
