Land off Hastings Hill, Churchill, Oxfordshire

Oxford Archaeology (OA) was commissioned by H Willis Ltd, via Savills (UK) Ltd, to undertake an archaeological evaluation of a proposed housing development, comprising a geophysical survey, followed by trial trenching on Land off Hastings Hill, Churchill, Oxfordshire. The evaluation has demonstrated that there are features of medieval to post-medieval date throughout the application site. Each of the four trenches contained multiple features or deposits of this broad date. The most complex and potentially important remains were found in the higher south-eastern part of the site (Trenches 3 and 4). These include faced stone walls and stoney layers that may be part of medieval/ post-medieval house plots and/or cultivation terraces
