St Christophers First School, Temple Cowley, Oxford, Oxfordshire

In September 2001 Oxford Archaeology (OA) carried out an archaeological watching brief at St Christophers First School, Cowley, Oxford (SP 5433 0450). The work was commissioned by WS Atkins in advance of the construction of a new four classroom extension, computer room, nursery and covered walk to existing school buildings. The watching brief revealed a deposit of made up ground, presumably associated with the construction of the existing school buildings and post medieval land drains.
