Data from a Trial Trench Evaluation at Widmore Farm, Oxfordshire, 2020-2022 (HS2 Phase One)

This collection comprises photographs, GIS, a Harris Matrix, reports, and scanned site records and drawings from an archaeological evaluation by INFRA Archaeology at Widmore Farm, Oxfordshire.
The trial trenches identified several features both archaeological and natural in origin, however no datable evidence was recovered. Although lacking dating evidence, it is thought possible that these ditches were a continuation of a potential Romano- British trackway encountered within Finmere Quarry to the east (and intentionally targeted as such). Therefore the findings and data provided by this evaluation would be beneficial to any further work and research in the area, and integration with the results from earlier work at Finmere Quarry suggested. Further work was recommended and has taken place since under the HS2 site code 1C20WIDAR.

本数据集涵盖INFRA考古事务所（INFRA Archaeology）于牛津郡威德莫农场开展考古评估所产出的全部资料，包括照片、地理信息系统（Geographic Information System，GIS）数据、哈里斯矩阵（Harris Matrix）、报告，以及扫描版遗址记录与图纸。
本次考古评估通过试掘沟识别出若干兼具考古与自然成因的遗存，但未获取到可用于断代的有效证据。尽管缺乏断代依据，仍可推测这批沟渠为东部芬米尔采石场（Finmere Quarry）内发现的疑似罗马-不列颠古道的延伸遗存（该遗存亦被作为针对性发掘目标）。因此，本次评估所获得的发现与数据，将对该区域后续的相关工作与研究具有重要参考价值，建议将其与芬米尔采石场早期考古工作的成果进行整合。按HS2项目场地编码1C20WIDAR开展的后续考古工作已被建议启动，并已于此后付诸实施。
