St Ebbe’s Church Drainage Works Oxford Archaeological Watching Brief Report

Oxford Archaeology undertook an archaeological watching brief at St Ebbe’s
Church, Oxford, as part of the works to replace and install new drainage
services. The watching brief, which was undertaken over three days during
October 2019, consisted of a single trench measuring 11.30m long and 2.50m
wide. The trench exhibited significant modern truncation from service trenches
but nevertheless uncovered an undated cemetery soil that contained
disarticulated human remains, as well as part of the stone foundation of the
west wall of the church.
