The trial excavations that were made  in advance of housing development, revealed groups of buildings  surrounded by a curtain wall and moat. Further excavations in the  north-west and south-east parts of the complex uncovered a  massive and well-preserved tower and attached range of the first  half of the 12th century which was progressively enlarged by a  chapel, a central pier, a raised terrace and a garderobe block.  The buildings were further modified in the later medieval period.  Coins in robber trenches indicate that some buildings were  demolished during the English Civil War, though others were  maintained. The front cover shows Nathaniel Buck's early 18th  century engraving purporting to show the remains, which were  systematically demolished in the mid-18th century to make way for  a new house. The site remained in the ownership of the Bishops of  Winchester until 1862, when it was purchased by the 6th Duke of  Marlborough. The present house was built c 1904. The site was  purchased by Oxfordshire County Council in 1993, and the tower is  now on display to the public.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50643881525521,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50643881820433,"sku":"GOR013115266","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/094781678X.jpg?v=1751442848"},{"product_id":"excavations-at-roughground-farm-lechlade-gloucestershire-a-prehistoric-and-roman-book-tim-allen-9780947816834","title":"Excavations at Roughground Farm, Lechlade, Gloucestershire: A Prehistoric and Roman Landscape","description":"The archaeological remains at Roughground Farm cover an area of c 8 hectares on the second gravel terrace just north of Lechlade between the rivers Leach and Thames (SP 216\/009 to 221\/005). The site was investigated by Margaret Jones in advance of gravel extraction between 1957 and 1965. These excavations revealed evidence of occupation from the Late Neolithic to the end of the Roman period and represent one of the first landscape studies undertaken in this country. The work was stimulated by the discovery of a Roman villa, whose buildings were partly investigated in 1957 and 1959. Further excavations on the villa buildings were carried out by Tim Allen in 1981-2 and in 1990 prior to a housing development.\nThe Neolithic occupation consists of a small cluster of pits containing Grooved Ware, contrasting with a dispersed scatter of pits with Beaker pottery. The Earlier Bronze Age is only represented by a stray sherd, but there is a wide scatter of Later Bronze Age pits, which tend to congregate in small groups. In the Early Iron Age the landscape was divided by large boundary ditches, roughly parallel to one another and at right angles to the river Leach, with smaller ditched subdivisions. This land-division appears to respect established trackways, which met within the excavated area. Pit groups indicate an arable economy and occupation, including posthole groups and burials, was concentrated at the east edge of the site.\nThe Middle and Late Iron Ages are hardly represented, but an Early Roman native settlement was established just west of the trackways. This included an oval house-enclosure with accompanying pit-group, small stock enclosures, and pens, lying within a larger rectilinear enclosure. Between the trackways and the settlement was an open 'green'-like area. The economy was similar to that of the Iron Age and this settlement persisted until the early 2nd century AD, when it was replaced by the building of a villa.\nAt least two masonry buildings were put up in the mid 2nd century and were surrounded by an enclosure ditch. One of these was an aisled building, with^an apsidal end unique in Roman Britain. Outside this was a regular system of paddocks and larger fields laid out to a standard unit of length. The villa occupation area, however, kept within the limits of the preceding native settlement. Trackways and droveways approaching the villa were delineated by boundary ditches.\nIn the 3rd century another large domestic building was constructed, while the ends of the trackways east of the villa were overlaid by two groups of enclosures facing each other across the 'green', which were used for various agricultural and semi-industrial activities and may also have been occupied. These may represent centralisation of the villa's estate management. Small groups of late Roman burials were found in and around these enclosures. In the 4th century, if not before, another domestic building was added to the villa. Occupation of the villa and adjacent enclosures continued beyond 360 AD, but possibly not as late as the end of the 4th century.\nThere was very little evidence of Saxon activity, although the villa buildings were robbed for stone for graves in this period. The east part of the site was overlaid by ridge and furrow in the medieval period and the west appears to have been pasture; both parts remained open fields until gravel extraction began in the 1930s. Virtually the whole site has now been destroyed.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52509281845521,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52509281943825,"sku":"NGR9780947816834","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780947816834.jpg?v=1760379635"},{"product_id":"saved-from-the-grave-book-t-g-allen-9780954962760","title":"Saved from the Grave","description":"Excavations at Spring Road Municipal Cemetery, Abingdon,  Oxfordshire have revealed activity extending from the Mesolithic  to the Saxon period. The most significant discovery was an arc of  substantial postholes which formed part of one of very few middle  Bronze timber circles known in southern Britain. The most  important earlier evidence was a Beaker burial containing a  copper awl which is amongst the earliest metal artefacts from  Britain. Mesolithic flint, an oval Peterborough Ware bowl and a  Grooved Ware pit were also found. A group of three middle Iron  Age crouched inhumation burials are amongst the most interesting  later finds, which included also an early-middle Iron Age  roundhouse, a Roman field system and Anglo-Saxon sunken-featured  buildings.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53649562468625,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53649562861841,"sku":"NGR9780954962760","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780954962760.jpg?v=1781162698"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-t-g-allen.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
