Abstract:		 The evaluation comprised two trenches, each measuring 30m x 1.8m laid out. All work was undertaken in accordance with the written scheme of investigation produced by OA (OA 2021) and approved by Richard Oram, Lead Archaeologist for Oxfordshire County Council, and in accordance Chartered Institute for Archaeology standards and guidance (CIFA 2014). In May 2021 Oxford Archaeology carried out a trial trench evaluation to inform mitigation works ahead of the construction of a junction for the Wantage Eastern Link Road. The evaluation comprised two trenches and was targeted on the inner of two ovoid cropmarks. The evaluation revealed that the inner cropmark related to a ditch of late Bronze Age date which is provisionally interpreted as forming part of a hill top enclosure. A posthole within the enclosed area also contained late Bronze Age material. The outer enclosure, which was not investigated, may be of later Iron Age date as is the case with local examples at Taplow, Rams Hill and Wittenham.
