St Aldates Gas Mains Replacements O x f o r d

During June and July 2008 Oxford Archaeology (OA) carried out an
archaeological watching brief in St Aldates, Oxford (Between NGR: SP
513 061- SP 514 056). The work was commissioned by Scotia Gas
Networks, in advance of the replacement of the old iron gas mains by new
plastic ones. The watching brief revealed stratigraphy indicative of
earlier service trenching work although this redeposited material did
contain building material indicative of substantial constructions in the
area facing Brewers Lane. No other deposits or features of
archaeological significance was observed.
