Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in March 2017 at Challow Park, East Challow, Wantage, Oxfordshire. Seven Trenches were excavated within two plots of land north of the A417 Challow Road. The archaeology at Challow Park showed no continuation of features from the 2016 evaluation in the field immediately adjacent to the west and north (CA 2016) but did reveal further evidence of early-medieval (5th-6th century) activity at least in areas between the footprints of the now demolished Council Depot buildings. The evidence of Anglo-Saxon activity took principally the form of a potential Saxon sunken-featured building (203) in Trench 2, which contained large and unabraded fragments of 5th-6th century pottery and well-preserved animal bone within the secondary fill (205). In Trench 7 a single sherd of Anglo-Saxon pottery was found in a probable ditch (709), located in a cluster of unfortunately undated postholes and a pit. |
