Abstract

An archaeogical evaluation to the rear of properties at 5 & 6 St Peters Street, Wallingfind, Oxon. (former abattoir) revealed a late-post medieval garden soil level and series of pits. A former yard layout was revceald to the rear of no.6. A small assemlage of medieval pottery indicates C12-Cl4 activity in the vicinity, though the finds could not be assigned to any specific archaeological context. Earlier activity on the site was indicated by the presence of two shards of late Saxon pottety and one sherd of Roman grey ware. Unfortunutely, again, no featutres of a corresponding date were identified. Archaeological deposits within the former cutting room were considerably distributed by the laying of drainage services to the former abattoir, those in the yard area by C19 activity.
