Milham Ford Upper School Marston Road, New Marston, Oxford Milham Ford Upper School Marston Road, New Marston, Oxford An Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment for Oxfordshire County Council by Lisa‐Maree Hardy Thames Valley Archaeological Services Ltd Site Code MSO01/111 February 2002 Milham Ford Upper School, Marston Road, New Marston An Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment by Lisa-Maree Hardy Report 01/111 Introduction This desk-based study is an assessment of the archaeological potential of the site of Milham Ford Upper School, Marston Road, New Marston, Oxfordshire (SP 5305 0730) (Fig. 1). The project was commissioned by Mr Philip Scott of WS Atkins Consultants Limited, Chilbrook, Oasis Business Park, Eynsham, Oxford, OX29 4AH on behalf of Oxfordshire County Council. This report comprises the first stage of a process to determine the presence/absence, extent, character, quality and date of any archaeological remains which may be affected by redevelopment of the area. Site description, location and geology The proposal site is situated approximately 1 km to the north-east of Oxford City centre, on the eastern side of Marston Road, New Marston. The site contains existing school buildings, including an air raid shelter, quadrangle, associated amenities and playing fields, including a tennis court. Access to the site is gained from Marston Road, where the site lies at approximately 62m above Ordnance Datum, rising steeply to approximately 67m above OD. The site is located on Oxford Clay (BGS 1982). Planning background and development proposals Planning permission is to be sought for the redevelopment of the site, which will comprise the demolition of the existing buildings, and the construction of residences and associated amenities. It is proposed that the main building and the quadrangle will be retained. Archaeology and Planning (PPG 16 1990) provides guidance relating to archaeology within the planning process. It points out that where a desk-based assessment has shown that there is a strong possibility of significant archaeological deposits in a development area it is reasonable to provide more detailed information from a field evaluation so that an appropriate strategy to mitigate the effects of development on archaeology can be devised: Paragraph 21 states: 1 ‘Where early discussions with local planning authorities or the developer’s own research indicate that important archaeological remains may exist, it is reasonable for the planning authority to request the prospective developer to arrange for an archaeological field evaluation to be carried out...’ Should the presence of archaeological deposits be confirmed further guidance is provided. Archaeology and Planning stresses preservation in situ of archaeological deposits as a first consideration as in paragraphs 8 and 18. Paragraph 8 states: ‘...Where nationally important archaeological remains, whether scheduled or not, and their settings, are affected by proposed development there should be a presumption in favour of their physical preservation...’ Paragraph 18 states: ‘The desirability of preserving an ancient monument and its’ setting is a material consideration in determining planning applications whether that monument is scheduled or unscheduled...’ However, for archaeological deposits that are not of such significance it is appropriate for them to be ‘preserved by record’ (i.e., fully excavated and recorded by a competent archaeological contractor) prior to their destruction or damage. Paragraph 25 states: ‘Where planning authorities decide that the physical preservation in situ of archaeological remains is not justified in the circumstances of the development and that development resulting in the destruction of the archaeological remains should proceed, it would be entirely reasonable for the planning authority to satisfy itself ... that the developer has made appropriate and satisfactory provision for the excavation and recording of remains.’ The Oxfordshire Structure Plan (OSP 1998) also outlines policy regarding the archaeological potential of development sites. Policy EN10 states: ‘There will be a presumption in favour of physically preserving nationally important archaeological remains, whether scheduled or not, and their settings. Where development affecting other archaeological remains is allowed it should include appropriate measures to secure their preservation in situ, or where this is not feasible, recording of archaeological features before development.’ Further guidance is provided by the Oxford Local Plan (OLP 1998). Policy EN40: ‘Where there are known archaeological remains or a desk assessment has shown that there are likely to be such remains, and they are considered to be important, the Council will normally require applicants to submit sufficient information, including where necessary the results of an evaluation by fieldwork, to define the character and extent of the remains and enable an assessment of the impact of the proposals upon the remains to be carried out before deciding upon an application.’ 2 Policy EN42: ‘The council will not normally grant planning permission for development that would have a serious adverse effect that cannot be mitigated on important archaeological remains or their setting.’ Policy EN43: ‘Where a proposed development would affect important archaeological deposits or remains and the Council is satisfied the development can proceed: a. The Council will normally seek the preservation of the deposits or remains and the modification of designs, including siting and foundations, to mitigate the adverse effects. b. Where the preservation of important deposits or remains is not possible or justified the Council will normally want to be satisfied, before granting planning permission for development affecting the deposits or remains, that appropriate and satisfactory provision for the excavation and recording of the deposits or remains and publication of the results has been made and may seek to enter into an agreement to this effect. c. Where less important deposits or remains are involved, or where otherwise appropriate, the Council may require that a watching brief only is provided for.’ As part of the Oxford Schools Review, Oxford City Council has produced Development Guidelines for the proposal site. These guidelines specify that an archaeological desk-based assessment be submitted to Council with any planning application for the redevelopment of the site. These requirements also specify that a full measured and photographic survey of the World War II air raid shelter be carried out. The latter forms a separate part of this project, supplementary to this report. Methodology The assessment of the site was carried out by the examination of pre-existing information from a number of sources recommended by the Institute of Field Archaeologists’ paper ‘Standards in British Archaeology’ covering desk-based studies. These sources include historic and modern maps, the Oxfordshire Sites and Monuments Record, geological maps and any relevant publications or reports. Archaeological background General background for the City of Oxford The earliest archaeological evidence from Oxford city and surrounding areas dates to the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic periods and is represented by a small number of stone tools. Later prehistoric sites and finds are more numerous and include evidence from cropmarks (visible from the air), chance finds, burials and formal archaeological excavations. Neolithic finds have been concentrated in the area of modern Christ Church, suggesting a possible major settlement. Evidence for the Bronze Age comes from various locations within 3 Oxford, and includes round barrows, bronze tools and pottery. Iron Age cropmarks and enclosures have also been identified (Ashdown and Hassall 1975; Hassall 1986). Roman settlement within Oxford is fairly well recognized, within a dense settlement in north Oxford (Barton) located on the line of the Roman road from Alchester to Dorchester, close to the bridging point across Bayswater Brook. On the southern and eastern margins of the city (e.g., at Blackbird Leys) a large number of pottery kilns are recorded, which together were a major supplier of pottery across the southern Midlands for much of the Roman period. Evidence for early Saxon settlement within the city is lacking, but it is known that by the 8th century the town formed a part of a royal estate, which was centred on modern Headington. The evolution of a Saxon town can be traced through the development of the street systems and the remains of the town defences (Hassall 1986). In medieval times the town developed into a major centre and suburbs expanded beyond the earlier town walls. The Oxfordshire Site and Monuments Record A search for previously recorded archaeological sites was made for an area of 1km surrounding the study area on the Oxfordshire Sites and Monuments Record (SMR) on 21st December 2001. In total, 36 sites were recorded within the search area, including entries for negative evidence and archaeological works in the vicinity. Each record has been allocated a number: the details are summarized in Appendix 1 and their locations illustrated in Figure 1. Prehistoric A total of three unspecified prehistoric sites were recorded for the area. The first relates to a trackway, south of the proposal site, which ran from Oxford to Stokenchurch [Fig. 1; 1]. This is referred to in a Saxon charter of AD 956 as an established straet. There is, however, no direct evidence that this feature was originally prehistoric. The second relates to a find spot to the south-west

  • Seed Bank Plants Presentation
    Oxfordshire Recorders and Conservation Day, Saturday, 28 February 2015 Oxford University Museum of Natural History, Oxford OX1 3PW _______________________________________________________________________ Seed Bank Plants - presentation by Dr Judith A Webb All photos copyright J A Webb Introduction As long as I have been a botanist, I have been fascinated by seeds and growing plants from seeds. The theme of this conference is ‘Recording the Invisible’ and my imagination was first caught by the account of the resurrection of the rare plant Starfruit Damasonium alisma - apparently ‘back from the dead’. This had disappeared (been lost) in the flora of ponds that had become silted up or choked with emergent vegetation of sedge and bulrush, losing the shallow open water it needed. ‘Cleaning-out’ such a pond – removing most of the choking vegetation and silt to return it to an earlier successional stage – activates long-dormant (invisible) Starfruit seed held in the seed bank in the pond sediment (as long as some of the original sediment with dormant seed has been left or actively returned to the rejuvenated pond). It is important that we realise, as recorders, that a plant, though not seen as a flowering or vegetative organism, may not be extinct on a site. It may be still there but invisible in the form of viable but dormant seed in the soil or sediment. Such a seed bank might last for only a few years or for up to 100 years or longer depending on the species. What follows are some examples of what I have found out from my own observations and research on plants with seeds with long dormancy and those with short dormancy.

  • 4 Vegetation Dynamics on Port Meadow 4.1 History of Port Meadow
    4 Vegetation dynamics on Port Meadow 4.1 History of Port Meadow Port Meadow (132 ha) and Wolvercote Common (39 ha) (the Meadow) are adjacent commons lying on the River Thames flood-plain within Oxford City boundary (Map 2.5). They have been grazed since at least the Bronze Age and have never been ploughed. Shiplake Ditch forms the boundary between Port Meadow and Wolvercote Common. The common land and Hook Meadow form part of a larger Site of Special Scientific Interest first notified in 1952 and re-notified under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. The Nature Conservancy Council’s citation (1983) states that the history of ecological interest in the Meadow was taken into account so the SSSI should be extended to the whole of Port Meadow with Wolvercote Common, with the exception of the Wolvercote allotment gardens. The Meadow is also important as a gene bank of species, particularly well adapted to heavy grazing, which have already been fundamental in the development of agricultural leys (McDonald forthcoming). In 2004, Port Meadow was confirmed as a Special Area of Conservation under European Union legislation because of the presence of Apium repens. The whole was registered as a Scheduled Ancient Monument in 1993 because there are the remains of six Bronze Age burials and three Iron Age settlement sites and field systems on the commons (Map 4.1). Both commons are owned or held in Trust by Oxford City Council and Oxfordshire County Council under Section 9 of the Commons Registration Act 1965. Under the same Act, the Freemen of Oxford and the Wolvercote Commoners registered grazing rights for 1,365 horses, 1,890 cattle, 6 donkeys, 48 ducks and 1,192 geese.

  • Oxford City Council Local Plan 2036
    Oxford City Council Local Sites Audit Plan 2036 BACKGROUND PAPER INTRODUCTION 1. This background paper forms part of the evidence base for the Oxford Local Plan 2036 and supplements the relevant background papers on Site Assessments that were published at the Issues stage of consultation in 2016 and the Preferred Options stage of consultation in 2017. For clarity, the 2016 and 2017 papers have not been reproduced here but this paper should be read alongside the previous papers. 2. The first part of the paper provides background information on the sites identified at Preferred Options Stage and provides information on how these were identified and the assessment process used to determine which sites would be taken forward for further investigation. 3. The second part sets out the differences between the list of sites accepted at Preferred Options stage and those taken forward into the Proposed Submission Plan. Within this section there is commentary on further reasons considered to help determine which sites should go forward and why sites were rejected at this stage. The section also includes commentary on additional sites that were added at this stage and the reasons for this. 4. The paper is supported by two Appendices. Appendix 1 is a list of Preferred Options rejected sites. This list has been updated with an additional column added to identify sites that were previously rejected but are now being accepted. The additional column contains commentary on why these sites are now being accepted and included within the Proposed Submission Plan. Appendix 2 is a list of the Preferred Options accepted sites.

  • Timeline of Marston Below Is a Brief Timeline of the History of Marston Courtesy of Stephanie Jenkins of Headington.Org.Uk
    Timeline of Marston Below is a brief timeline of the history of Marston courtesy of Stephanie Jenkins of headington.org.uk. There have been two Palaeolithic finds in Marston, but the Romans do not appear to have had a BC settlement there AD 1086 Domesday Book: Marston (then a hamlet of Headington) was too small to be mentioned Until this time, all the low ground of Marston is believed to have been under water. Old Marston village AD 1100 was now an island in the Cherwell. It had its own chapel, which was dependent on Headington. It was part of the Royal Manor at Headington (which also owned Binsey and Osney). First written occurrence of the name of Marston. Its chapel is referred to as a church for the first time, and by the end of the twelfth century it was dedicated to St Nicholas. Henry I gave the chapel of Marston to the canons of St. Frideswide’s. AD 1122 The chancel arch and seven arches of the nave survive which suggests a considerable community cultivating surrounding fields – workable by ditching and draining. The tenant had rights of commoning cattle and cutting furze, fern and dead wood. In this year the population of Marston consisted of the Vicar, two freeholders (the miller and a man appearing to live at Court Place) and 46 unfree tenants. First mention of a Marston ferry. Hugh de Molendino held a mill at Marston. (Hundred Rolls). There was a mill at the end of Mill Lane near Sescut Farm which would disappear and re-appear in the AD 1279 records up to the 1400s.
