Phase 2, Broad Street, Oxford Archaeological Watching Brief

In November 2001 the Oxford Archaeological Unit (OAU) carried out an archaeological watching brief in Broad Street, Oxford (NGR SP5130 0644). This watching brief was further to an earlier phase of work that has previously been reported. The work was commissioned by Oxford County Council, in advance of the installation of hydraulic bollards across the road. The watching brief revealed layers of modern deposits, service pipes and road make-up down to a maximum depth of 1.35m. No evidence of earlier street surfaces or archaeological features were revealed.
