  • Excavations at Callow Hill, Glympton and Stonesfield, Oxon
    Excavations at Callow H ill, Glympton and Stonesfield, Oxon. By NICHOLAS THOMAS INTRODUCTION HE excavations described in this report were carried out by the Oxford University Archaeological Society in order to throw new light on the problemsT posed by the group of Roman villas that lies in the area defined by the north Oxfordshire Grim's Dyke. It was agreed that this could best be done by investigating the ditch which enclosed one of these villas-Callow Hill, 3! miles NW of Woodstock ( ational Grid: 42/40919s)-and the prominent earthworks immediately to the east of it. These earthworks appeared to have much in common with Grim's Dyke itself, which runs through Blenheim Park about one mile farther towards Woodstock. It was hoped that it would be possible to deduce some relationship, either chrono­ logical or political, between the villa at Callow Hill-and hence, to some extent, between the other villas hereabouts-and Grim's Dyke. The work was carried out during the first three weeks of September, 1950, under my direction, assisted by Mr. Alan Hunter.' No previous research had been undertaken at Callow Hill. The site has long been known because of the amount of Romano-British building debris and potsherds which lie about on the surface. In 1916 a floor was found, l The excavations were made possible by a grant of £30 from the Research Fund of the Oxford University Archaeological Society. Sincere thanks arc due to His Grace the Duke of Marlborough, Col. Sir Charles Ponsonby 8t., Mr. and Mrs. E. Tomkins, and Mr.

  • The Glyme Valley Way, Step by Step
    The Glyme Valley Way Step by step From Chipping Norton TO Woodstock, Oxfordshire detailed route description and practical information The Glyme Valley Way Step by Step page 2 The Glyme Valley Way step by step is a guide to help you navigate a historic trail that passes through some lovely countryside. The Way follows nearly stile-free public footpaths and bridleways from Chipping Norton to Woodstock and was devised by BBC Oxford and Oxfordshire County Council’s Countryside Service to mark celebrations in 2007 of 1,000 years of the County’s history. It crosses pleasant rolling country, fine parkland, and protected meadows. About 25 km or 16 miles long, its ascents total some 280 m/900 ft, and descents, 380 m/1,250 ft. At an average pace of 4km or 2½ miles per hour, it would take about 6½ hours to complete, excluding stops. This guide supplements a 2007 leaflet giving an overview of the Way: see endnote a.
