Abstract:		 In November 2015 13 trenches were excavated across a proposed housing development at Ambrosden Court, Merton Road, Ambrosden, Oxfordshire centred on SP 6018 1911. Evidence was found for agricultural activity of late medieval to post-medieval date across the site in the form of field drainage furrows, ditches and drains. The 19th century OS mapping for the area shows that the western side was regarded as marshy ground. This has been substantiated by the sequence of alluvial deposits overlain by peaty/ humic material in the western most trenches. The deliberate dumping of material to raise the ground level and allow the entire western field to be utilised, appears to have occurred in the mid 20th century. The material used as infill was consistent with Victorian structures and some modern debris. It is assumed that these were demolished and imported from elsewhere, rather than any structures on site.
