Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by S and C Slatter Limited on behalf of Cherwell School, Oxford to undertake an archaeological evaluation on a 2.9 hectare parcel of land prior to proposed the construction of a new football pitch with associated hardstanding, vehicular access and floodlight system. The evaluation was carried out on an area of playing fields immediately east of Cherwell School, north of Marston Ferry Road, Oxford, centred on NGR 451440 208880. Three trenches measuring 30m in length by 1.8m in width and which comprised 2% of the proposed development area, were mechanically excavated under constant archaeological supervision. No archaeological features were observed and no pre-modern finds were recovered. Areas of modern disturbance were recorded within each trench and this was especially prominent to the south of the site, close to Marston Ferry Road. The likely cause of the disturbance is related to the use and abandonment of former allotments on the site and the subsequent landscaping works associated with the construction of the school playing fields |
