Abstract: |
This report presents the results of a geophysical survey that was carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) for a residential development at Land North of Banbury Road, Finmere, Cherwell, Oxfordshire. The geophysical survey identified 16 groups of anomalies. These include: undated ditches, some of which may belong to an earlier field system; a series of parallel linears that are indicative of previous agricultural activity (ridge and furrow); and a sub-circular and possible Prehistoric feature. Although the latter features are undated, their form and their concentration to the south-western part of the site would suggest Prehistoric activity. Further archaeological mitigation, in the form of targeted evaluation trenching, would serve to validate the results of the geophysical survey, confirm the presence or the absence of archaeological features, and provide dating evidence for those features that are present. |
