      Test Pit 21 - 29 Abberbury Road, Iffley

This location was chosen with a view to adding further information about the archaeology of the area to that gained from two previous test pits excavated in Abberbury Road on 21st - 22nd June 2011 (TPS_11 and 12). Both these sites provided evidence of Roman activity in the area, which included a 3rd century Roman coin of Postumus and fragments of mortaria.

      Test Pit 11 - Abberbury Road

Test pit 11 was located in the garden of 21 Abberbury Road in a lawn sloping down to the north. The lawn is surrounded by mature trees and lies on the northern slopes of Rose Hill. Historic Ordnance Survey maps show this area as agricultural land until its development in the twentieth century. There is known Iron Age and Romano-British archaeology within half a kilometre including burials, domestic surfaces and Roman kiln sites focused on Annesley Road.

  


  

 



  
      

      Test Pit 17 - Bartlemas Farmhouse

                    Bartlemas Farmhouse, Bartlemas Lane, Cowley        

        




The test pit is close to a Bartlemas Farmhouse dated partly to the early 16th century, but an older part to the east may have been the warden’s house for the Bartlemas leper hospital founded in the 12th century. This area was clearly occupied during the medieval period as pottery from the pit demonstrates. There is also clear evidence from the make-up layer of clay and domestic/animal waste that the ground level was raised at some point, probably to prevent flooding.
