  • A Brief History of Port Meadow and Wolvercote Common and Picksey Mead, and Why Their Plant Communities Changed Over the Last 90 Years A
    A brief history of Port Meadow and Wolvercote Common and Picksey Mead, and why their plant communities changed over the last 90 years A. W McDonald Summary A multidisciplinary approach to landscape history enabled the examination of botanical, hydrological and agricultural data spanning some 4,000 years. The results showed Bronze Age humans affecting the vegetation by pasturing cattle on the floodplain extending from Yarnton to Oxford. In the Iron Age pastoralists were over-grazing Port Meadow and, between the sixth and ninth centuries, part of the floodplain was set aside for a hay crop whilst the aftermath or second grass crop continued to be shared as pasture. By Domesday floodplain meads were the most expensive land recorded in this survey and Port Meadow was established as common land belonging to Oxford. Having discussed the soil and water conditions on the floodplain and its potential effect on the plant communities, the management history of Port Meadow with Wolvercote Common is followed by that of Picksey Mead. Finally, the plant communities are discussed. Those established in 1981/2 are compared with data sets for the early 1920s and for 1996-2006. Changes in the species composition between sites are due to different management regimes and those over time and within sites are attributed to changes in the water-table. Introduction The Oxford grassland comprises common pasture and mead situated on alluvium over limestone gravel. It is unusual for its four thousand years of management history and evidence for the effect this has had on the vegetation. Sited in the upper Thames valley, within three miles of Oxford City centre, Port Meadow (325 acres/132 ha) and Wolvercote Common (75 acres/30.4 ha) (Figure 1 and Figure 2) are known locally as the Meadow, even though they are pasture1.

  • 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.

  • Archaeopress Open Access
    World Archaeology at the Pitt Rivers Museum: A Characterization edited by Dan Hicks and Alice Stevenson, Archaeopress 2013, page 279-301 13 Oxfordshire Matthew Nicholas and Dan Hicks 13.1 Introduction The Pitt Rivers Museum (PRM) holds c. 3,241 objects from Oxfordshire that are currently defined as archaeological.1 This represents just c. 11% of the archaeological collections from the UK, and just c. 2.4% of the Museum’s world archaeological collections as a whole. However, such is the quantity of British material, and the international distribution of the collections as a whole, that collections from only 10 of the 134 countries represented in the ‘archaeological’ collections are larger than those from Oxfordshire. Thus, even if leaving the ‘ethnographic’ collections aside, the Oxfordshire archaeological material represents a significant element of the Museum’s collections. Some 2,852 (c. 88%) of these objects from Oxfordshire are prehistoric stone tools. Less than half were obtained through excavation, most being recovered through field-walking or collected during gravel extraction, and many more being collected during building works (Figure 13.1). Earlier chapters have considered the UK archaeological collections from the Palaeolithic (Chapter 9), later prehistoric and Romano-British (Chapter 11), and medieval and post-medieval (Chapter 12) periods, and have discussed some of the Oxfordshire material in the process. The point has been made already, especially in Chapter 12, that many of the apparently ‘ethnographic’ objects from England in fact represent significant resources for historical and archaeological studies. This is certainly the case for the PRM’s Oxfordshire collections: the number of medieval and post-medieval objects is significantly under-estimated, since many are currently classified as ‘ethnographic’.
