Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in July and August 2018 at Project Swift, Culham, Oxfordshire. Thirty nine trenches were excavated. The evaluation identified a penannular ring ditch from which Early Neolithic pottery was recovered. Although it may represent an early round barrow, it is more probable that the recovered artefacts are residual in a Bronze Age barrow. A Neolithic to Bronze Age boundary ditch and an Early to Middle Iron Age enclosed settlement were also identified. There was also evidence for medieval and post-medieval agricultural activity. In general the results of the evaluation correlated well with those of the preceding cropmark and geophysical surveys, with all of the predicted features being identified within the trenches. A small number of features not identified during the non-intrusive surveys were also revealed during the evaluation trenching. |
