New Hockey Pitch, Magdalen College and New Centre for Islamic Studies, Kings Mill Lane, Oxford.

In January and February 2001, OA undertook a watching brief at Kings Mill Lane, Oxford. The site encompassed two developments. The construction of a new hockey pitch for Magdalen College and the construction of a new Centre for Islamic Studies. Due to the potential disturbance of below ground archaeological remains, a condition for an archaeological watching brief was attached to the permission. An evaluation by OA in September 2000 revealed a number of 19th/20th century structures associated with Kings Mill Farm to the north of the site, these were observed but no further recording was considered necessary. No other significant archaeological features or deposits were observed during the watching brief.
