Calthorpe Street, Banbury, Oxfordshire

Abstract

In June 2017, Oxford Archaeology was commissioned by Thames Water to carry out a watching brief along the route of a proposed new water main installation on Calthorpe Street, Banbury. The presence of 20th century made ground deposits was recorded across the site along with the remains of the 20th century terraced housing that once stood on site. Significant truncation has taken place across the site and the lack of natural deposits would suggest that this has removed any archaeological deposits that may have existed.
