Lime Road Botley Oxford

In March 2013, Oxford Archaeology (OA) carried out a field evaluation at Lime
Road, Botley, Oxford on behalf of Bovis Homes (SW) Ltd. The evaluation comprised
the machine excavation of 16 trenches measuring 30m by 1.8m.
Of the 16 trenches, 13 contained no archaeological features or deposits. An
undated ditch was identified along the eastern edge of the site in Trench 6 and a pit
containing burnt flint was found in Trench 13 in the southern corner. A buried soil
horizon containing medieval pottery and animal bone was also recorded in the
southern corner, in Trench 9.
The results of the evaluation indicate that a very low level of archaeological activity
exists at the site.
