  • The North Oxfordshire Grim's Ditch
    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.

    The Wychwoods Local History Society Chairman’s Report May 2020 This season’s meetings have been very well attended up to the 19th March meeting which, along with the talk from Cedric Reavely and Carol Anderson, had to be cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic and lockdown. Up to that point we have had very interesting talks from Tom Shannon on Mutiny, A Family Story of Death, Rebellion and Survival through to The League of Nations by Michael Davies, followed this year by Brigadier David Innes on Oxfordshire’s Military History and Tim Porter on Evesham Abbey. We also had two very successful walks around Milton under Wychwood in the autumn, led by John Bennett, looking at the architecture of the village and the changes that have taken place over the years. I have attached this season’s talks starting on 17th September with Tim Marshall on Quaker Clocks and the Milton-under-Wychwood connection and right through till 20th May 2021 AGM and Julie Ann Godson on Oxfordshire in the Past. I hope you find something of interest there. Website. The most significant advance for the Society this year has been the renewal of the website thanks to David Betterton with help from Alan Vickers.

  • Manning's Curiosity Projected Into the 21St Century by Brian Durham Percy Manning: the Man Who Collected Oxfordshire, Ed
    Manning's Curiosity Projected into the 21st Century by Brian Durham Percy Manning: The Man who Collected Oxfordshire, Ed. Michael Heaney, Pages 289-309 11: Manning’s Curiosity Projected into the 21st Century Brian Durham Had a man of Percy Manning’s breadth of interests been born a century later, what intellectual ramparts would he have manned in Oxfordshire? Now that his sort of collecting has been recognized as an essential record of humanity’s evolution, such that developments big and small will try to address their respective cultural impacts in a spirit of discovery and understanding, what questions would still have tantalized a Percy Manning a century on? This contribution looks into the mind of the man through his collecting, his writing and his collaboration with his peers, exploring his world with a newly available technique of landscape analysis that would have impressed him and could revolutionize the perception of his 21st-century successor. The original Manning saw to it that the millennium of Oxford’s first mention, in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle for AD 911/2, was commemorated (see Chapters 1 and 6). Since that time other Oxford millennia have passed unnoticed, including that of the slaughter of Danes in 1003. This would have seemed an unfortunate case for commemoration in 2003, but only five years later the ‘tumbled’ remains of 35 individuals, some with Scandinavian characteristics, were exhumed on the inner lip of a huge ring ditch under what is now St John’s College, Keble College and Keble Road. 1 The monument is identified as a ‘henge’, the upcast of which would originally have created a counterscarp six metres high, a massive auditorium – the deposition of an untidy heap of humanity in this context might therefore have been witnessed by an 11th-century onlooker from the weathered remains of this slope.

  • Volume Two Appendix 1: Catalogue of Known, Suspected and Possible Villa Sites in Britain 4Ppendix 1 Introduction to the Catalogue of Known, Suspected and Possible
    Volume Two Appendix 1: Catalogue of Known, Suspected and Possible Villa Sites in Britain 4ppendix 1_ Introduction to the Catalogue of Known, Suspected and Possible Roman Villas in Britain The existence of some villas can be held to be self-evident: they have been at least partially excavated and shown to be rectilinear masonry buildings, perhaps with baths, mosaics arid hypocausts. However, before a site is actually excavated - or given a thorough geophysical or successful aerial survey - it is difficult to discern its exact nature. Any surface scatter of Roman artefacts, particularly building debris, may indicate the presence of a villa. This presents the thorniest of problems to the compiler of a catalogue of possible villa sites, for a field scatter of Roman material may also represent the site of a temple, a mansio, a small town, a 'native settlement' or even a heavily manured field. Yet field scatters must be taken into account, because they may prove to be villas. They are certainly likely to prove to be a settlement of some sort. Even a light field scatter belies a much greater amount of material beneath the surface. Ebcperiments by Ainmerman (1985) and Parker- Pearson (pers. comm.) on the relationship of surface to sub-surface artefact densities have demonstrated that a relatively small amount of material - as little as 2% of the total - is present on the surface at any one time. These results have been confirmed with Roman material in Britain by Gaffney and Tingle (1985) at Maddle Farm (BK27) and by Hayfield at 1harram (NK37)(pers. Comm.).
