Townlands Community Hospital, York Road, Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire

Between the 8th and 10th of October 2012 Oxford Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation at the Townlands Hospital site, Henley on Thames, Oxfordshire. The evaluation consisted of three 30m trenches located within the gardens and car park of the hospital. Excavation of the trenches revealed widespread truncation throughout the site. Two of the trenches contained no significant archaeology with the third containing narrow cultivation strips overlying two post-medieval pits, all probably associated with the Victorian workhouse which previously occupied the site.
