Heyford Park Upper Heyford Oxfordshire

Between the 19th and 20th February 2007 Oxford Archaeology (OA)
carried out a field evaluation at Heyford Park, Upper Heyford,
Oxfordshire (centred at NGR: SP 504 270) on behalf of Tim Lamacraft of
Trench Farrow. The evaluation revealed overall deposits of modern made
ground sealing an earlier ploughsoil. In the two northernmost trenches
evidence for probable Iron Age ring ditches were exposed below this
ploughsoil cut into the underlying natural. There was a good match
between the magnetometer anomaly readings from a previous geophysical
survey and features observed within the trenches. However the
anomalies were evenly spilt between modern services and archaeological
features.
