Test Pit 30 - Links Allotments (Bartlemas)

Address: 
Bartlemas Close, Oxford, Oxfordshire OX4 2AE, UK

The test pit was dug in grass between the boundary wall for Bartlemas Chapel to the west and N-S allotment plots to the east. There may also have been an entrance into the chapel/leper hospital grounds from the east just north of the test pit. Fragments of medieval pottery and bone hinted at activity close by and the deposits were considerably shallower than those within the chapel grounds to the west.

Test Pit 21 - 29 Abberbury Road, Iffley

Address: 
29 Abberbury Rd, Oxford, Oxfordshire OX4 4ET, UK

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 18 - Bartlemas Farmhouse Grounds.

Address: 
Bartlemas Close, Oxford, Oxfordshire OX4 2AE, UK

Test pit 18 was located in the garden of Bartlemas Farmhouse in an area of rough vegetation, 1.6m west of a modern fence-line and 7.9m south of the south side of the boundary ditch after its turn west. The N-S course of this boundary ditch is thought to be very old and may mark the edge of the Leper Hospital's lands (see test pits BT_1, 2 and 4; and Bartlemas Chapel excavation reports for more information).

Test Pit 12 - 26 Abberbury Road

Address: 
26 Abberbury Rd, Oxford, Oxfordshire OX4 4ES, UK

Test pit 12 was located in the garden of 26 Abberbury Road in a lawn sloping very gently up to the south. The area of lawn in which the test pit was dug was  part of an old orchard, of which a few trees survive in the back gardens on this side of Abberbury Road; the garden is approaching the highest point of Rose Hill and backs on to the allotments. Historic Ordnance Survey maps show this area as agricultural land until its development in the twentieth century.
