Church Enstone Hall Archaeological Evaluation Report

In November 2021, Oxford Archaeology undertook trial trench evaluation at
the Church Enstone Hall, Oxfordshire. The evaluation comprised the
excavation of a single trench measuring 20m by 1.8, within the footprint of a
proposed swimming pool. A 13th century tithe barn (Scheduled Ancient
Monument 1006350) is located within the site which previously formed part
of the grounds of a Rectory.
Four ditches were identified within the trench along with a stone drain and a
pit. All features were sealed by a sequence of levelling deposits and top soil.
One of the ditches contained material of medieval date, the other features
remain undated.
