Barton Court Ruin, Sherwood Avenue, Abingdon Oxfordshire. Archaeological Watching Brief Report.

From August to November 2002 Oxford Archaeology carried out an archaeological watching brief at Barton Court Ruins, Sherwood Avenue, Abingdon, Oxfordshire. The work was commissioned by Vale of White Horse District Council as part of repair and consolidation of the 16th century farm house monument and the extension of the compound that surround it. The watching brief revealed that building remains survive in situ below ground, and that they extend beyond the present compound surrounding the monument. A draw and photographic record was made of parts of the elevation that were subject to structural repairs. The standing remains comprise the core walls of the original building with a number of Tudor fireplaces still visible.
