39 HIGH STREET, EYNSHAM

An archaeological warching brief was undertaken by Oxford Archaeological Unit during the redevelopment of land at 39 High Street Eynsham by Blenheint Construction Ltd. The
excavation of the foundations for four houses and accompanying garages was observed and all visible features rapidly recorded prior to the pouring of concrete. One certain and one possible medieval pit, seven post-medieval pits and one ditch of possible medieval date were
located sealed beneath a substantial build-up of garden soil. No features or artefacts predating the medieval period, with the exception of a single Romano-British sherd, were found and no evidence for the existence of an earlier building was discernible along the street
frontage.
