Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in May 2017 on land off Lower Icknield Way, Chinnor, Oxfordshire. Fifteen trenches were excavated of which archaeological remains were encountered in Trenches 4 and 10. A large Late Iron Age ditch, measuring in excess of 2m deep, was uncovered on the eastern side of the site within Trench 4 and corresponded with the geophysical survey of the site. The ditch lay perpendicular to the line of the Icknield Way, a prehistoric trackway that was located immediately to the south of the site, and may represent part of an enclosure that lay against the road or partially beyond the confines of the site. A possible small Romano-British gully was also uncovered along the western edge of the site in Trench 10. Two worked flints were also recovered from the fill of a palaeochannel in Trench 14. |
