  • Prehistoric, Romano-British, and Anglo-Saxon Activity at Whitelands Farm, Bicester
    Prehistoric, Romano-British, and Anglo-Saxon Activity at Whitelands Farm, Bicester Jon Martin with contributions by Alistair Barclay, Philippa Bradley, Lorrain Higbee, Kayt Marter Brown, Mandy Jay, Jacqueline I. McKinley, Janet Montgomery, J. Peter Northover, Maura Pellegrini, Ruth Pelling, Chris J. Stevens, Sarah F. Wyles, and illustrations by S.E. James and Karen Nichols SUMMARY Excavations undertaken by Wessex Archaeology at Whitelands Farm south-west of Bicester revealed a multi-period site ranging from the early Bronze Age to the mid Anglo-Saxon period. A total of eighteen areas were investigated, but the density of features across the site was very varied. Area 1 contained a scatter of middle to late Iron-Age settlement features, a rock-cut ditch, and pit clusters. Most features recorded in Area 7 were late Iron Age and reveal evidence for settlement and agriculture, the exceptions being a Romano-British ditch and a Beaker burial. Areas 14, 15, and 16 contain the remains of two enclosure ditches, stone-lined tanks and culverts, quarry pits, ditches, corn driers/ ovens, pits, and post-hole structures, mostly dated to the late Iron Age or Romano-British period, and providing evidence for settlement, domestic activity, and quarrying. Stone-lined tanks and associated stone-lined channels in Area 16 contained evidence for grain processing. These areas also revealed some mid Anglo-Saxon features and re-use of one of the stone-lined tanks. PROJECT BACKGROUND programme of archaeological excavations on land south-west of Bicester, Oxfordshire (NGR A 457100 222000; Fig. 1) was carried out in 2008 by Wessex Archaeology before development of the site for housing.

  • Notes and News
    Notes and News ARCHAEOLOGICAL NOTES The following discoveries in the district have been reported since the last volume of Oxoniensia was published: I. Alchester, Oxon. During November, 1944, a stretch of Langford Lane abutting on the N. side of the Roman town was widened by the County Council. A quantity of loose stone debris and a scattering of coarse pottery was revealed, but no traces of definite masonry or other constructions were visible. 2. Asthall, Oxon. Mr. Samuel Walker reported that in ploughing up a grass field immediately opposite the Swincombe turn on the Asthall-Burford road, and on the south side of the road, and thus close to the line of Akeman Street, large slabs (since determined as natural) were exposed. Near them were found Roman coins and pottery. Miss M. V. Taylor presented to the Ashmolean Museum an imperfect, decor­ ated Samian bowl of Dragendorff form 37 (A.M. 1943.59). 3. Benson, Oxon. See under Ewelme. 4. Bicester, Oxon. Private H. N. Chittick has collected sherds of mediaeval and later pottery, some evidently of 17th century date, around the foot of Gravenhill. 5. Brill, Bucks. From Muswell Hill Private Chittick has collected Roman sherds, including pieces of tile with incised linear pattern. 6. Brize }forton, Oxon. Mr. G. E. S. Turner presented to the Ashmolean Museum an iron blade (A.M. 1943.74) found in extending the aerodrome. The blade is not unlike some Middle Bronze Age tangless daggers, but no traces of rivets can be detected. Its date is doubtful. 7. Cassington, Oxon. Numerous fresh finds have been made in the prolific Smith's Pit II, immediately south of the cross-road of the Oxford northern by-pass.

    THE NORTH OXFORDSHIRE GRIM’S DITCH: AN ENIGMA WITHIN AN ENIGMA Tim Copeland THE ‘CINDERELLA’ OF LARGE SCALE LATE IRON AGE/EARLY ROMAN ENCLOSURES. AT THE TIME THAT THIS MONUMENT WAS CONSTRUCTED THERE WAS NO ‘OXFORDSHIRE’ AND ‘GRIM’ WAS OF ANGLO- SAXON ORIGIN. WE HAVE TO THINK HERE ON A REGIONAL, OR EVEN NATIONAL, SCALE. The late Iron Age major sites Crawford did a lot of fieldwork on foot and in the air (the ‘father’ of fieldwork as we know it) and discovered sections of the NOGD south of the River Evenlode. He published his findings in ‘Antiquity’ Issue 15 in 1930 under the title ‘Grimsdyke in Wychwood’. He suggested that the NOGD might have been constructed about 370 AD to stop invading Saxons attacking the villas. NOGD CHARACTERISTICS I • Area: 80sq km • Linear bank and ditch: 40km with gaps • Bank: 2m high(?) and 7m wide • Ditch:1.75m deep • Ditch: 6.8m wide • Possible palisade in front of the ditch • No traces of previous occupation within the enclosed area EXCAVATIONS AT BLENHEIM AND MODEL FARM DITCHLEY 1936 • It was decided that the structure was completed in the early AD 40s against the Roman threat. It was then deliberately filled in almost immediately when it was seen to be redundant. A cross-section of the NOGD at Ditchley in 1936. Note the presence of a ‘palisade trench’ beyond the ditch. This occurs at many points on the north circuit. THE NOGD AT LONG HANBOROUGH Having been covered by woodland for at least a 1000 years, this must be close to its full height and depth.

  • Early Medieval Oxfordshire
    Anglo-Saxon Oxfordshire Sally Crawford and Anne Dodd, December 2007 1. Introduction: nature of the evidence, history of research and the role of material culture Anglo-Saxon Oxfordshire has been extremely well served by archaeological research, not least because of coincidence of Oxfordshire’s diverse underlying geology and the presence of the University of Oxford. Successive generations of geologists at Oxford studied and analysed the landscape of Oxfordshire, and in so doing, laid the foundations for the new discipline of archaeology. As early as 1677, geologist Robert Plot had published his The Natural History of Oxfordshire ; William Smith (1769- 1839), who was born in Churchill, Oxfordshire, determined the law of superposition of strata, and in so doing formulated the principles of stratigraphy used by archaeologists and geologists alike; and William Buckland (1784-1856) conducted experimental archaeology on mammoth bones, and recognised the first human prehistoric skeleton. Antiquarian interest in Oxfordshire lead to a number of significant discoveries: John Akerman and Stephen Stone's researches in the gravels at Standlake recorded Anglo-Saxon graves, and Stone also recognised and plotted cropmarks in his local area from the back of his horse (Akerman and Stone 1858; Stone 1859; Brown 1973). Although Oxford did not have an undergraduate degree in Archaeology until the 1990s, the Oxford University Archaeological Society, originally the Oxford University Brass Rubbing Society, was founded in the 1890s, and was responsible for a large number of small but significant excavations in and around Oxfordshire as well as providing a training ground for many British archaeologists. Pioneering work in aerial photography was carried out on the Oxfordshire gravels by Major Allen in the 1930s, and Edwin Thurlow Leeds, based at the Ashmolean Museum, carried out excavations at Sutton Courtenay, identifying Anglo-Saxon settlement in the 1920s, and at Abingdon, identifying a major early Anglo-Saxon cemetery (Leeds 1923, 1927, 1947; Leeds 1936).

Here’s a church!’ There was nothing very surprising in that; but again, I was rather surprised, when he said, as if he were animated by a brilliant idea: ‘Let’s go in!’ (Charles Dickens. Great Expectations) I love the village parish church the humble graves and rhyming verses I love the gently kind of quiet to those who made it which filters through what it is the pale green light and haunt its precincts still: distilled by glass the printed list of incumbents in traceried windows (perp), beginning in the fourteenth century, the Norman carving the unlatched door round the font, and polished brass, the rood screen and hassocks of a later date (restored); buttoned red and square. the sense the hymnals piled in tidy rows of always Being There... all ready for Sunday School.
