Land to the Rear of Bracegirdle Road, Headington, Oxford

Oxford Archaeology was commissioned by Orion Heritage to undertake a trial
trench evaluation at the site of ‘Land to the rear of Bracegirdle Road,
Headington, Oxford’ on which the construction of new vehicular access to the
site and the erection of three single storey buildings to create residential
retirement dwelling houses is proposed.
The evaluation comprised four one metre wide trenches (two x 10 m, one x
20m, one x 22 m). The trenches were located to investigate the areas impacted
by the proposed development. The work was carried out over three working
days between the 4th and 6th of February 2019.
The results showed that the only features present were the remains of ridge
and furrow cultivation, running east to west across the site. No other
archaeological remains were found within the site.
