Abstract: |
John Moore Heritage Services carried out an archaeological watching brief at 39 Barwell in Wantage, Oxfordshire (NGR SU 3972 8833). The aims of investigation in particular were to record any evidence relating to prehistoric, Roman and Saxon activity known in the area. The fieldwork comprised monitoring of the mechanical and limited hand excavation of foundation trenches for an extension to the existing dwelling with a total length of 18.40 m. The archaeological features, three pits and two ditches, recorded during the watching brief revealed dense occupation of the site during the Roman period, from early 2nd to 4th century. No features related to medieval or post-medieval period were encountered during the watching brief. The rest of the features, drainage, water main, garden feature and foundations of existing building, were 20th century in date. |
