Bicester Village Phase 4

Between 31st August and 23rd September 2016, Oxford Archaeology undertook an
archaeological watching brief, on behalf of Value Retail, on the footings and a
service trench for a retail development at Bicester Village 4. Archaeological deposits
were scarce, with a tree throw hole the only cut feature to be encountered. The
deposits encountered were mainly truncated alluvial clays sealing a limestone
natural. It was evident through the excavation of the footings that any potential
archaeological remains would have been removed during the construction of the
previous building, prior to the current phase of construction. No finds or
environmental material were present.
