77 Walton Street Oxford

Between July 28th and August 2nd 2011 Oxford Archaeology conducted an
archaeological watching brief at 77 Walton Street, Oxford (NGR: SP 506 072) during
work to enlarge existing light wells to the front and rear of the property. The
watching brief observed that the 1895 construction of the terrace had completely
truncated any earlier archaeology at the front of the building. A buried (undated) soil
horizon was recorded at the rear of the house. No evidence for the late Saxon,
medieval and early post-medieval activity noted at number 75 extending into the
development area was observed
