6l Priory Rood, Bicester, Oxfordshire

In April 2003, Oxford Archaeology (OA) carried out a field evaluation at No. 61 Priory Road Bicester, Oxon (NGR SP 5851 2206) on behalf of the Coleman Hicks Partnership for Nash’s Bakeries of Bicester. The evaluation revealed an east-west aligned ditch of late Saxon date and a further possible ditch feature of comparable date. These features were overlain by former soil layers of unknown date that were cut by modern fence postholes. A few residual worked flints hint at prehistoric activity in the vicinity.
