University Science Waste Area Oxford University Oxford

Between the 5th and 7th of January 2015, Oxford Archaeology (OA) undertook an
archaeological watching brief during the groundworks associated with the
construction of a new University Science Waste Store sited adjacent to the Old
Observatory and Observation Tower and abutting University Parks (NGR: SP 516
071).
The watching brief observed that the area of the proposed development and
associated works was sited on a terrace of modern made ground, possibly arising
from the construction of the buildings immediately to the south. The depth of impact
was such that archaeologically significant layers were not exposed.
