Site Data from a Watching Brief at The Yard, Headington Hill Campus, Oxford Brookes University 2022

This collection comprises photographs, GIS data, scanned site records and a WSI from an archaeological watching brief by Oxford Archaeology at The Yard, Headington Hill Campus, Oxford Brookes University. The work took place over a period of three days from 8th to 10th March 2022, in advance of development of the site.
A total of five machine excavated test pits were excavated (TP's 1-5), seven hand dug test pits (HP's 1-7) and three soakaway pits (SA's 1, 3 and 4).
The groundworks revealed a relatively uniform sequence of a possible buried soil or disturbed land surface overlain by crushed chalk and tarmac forming the current car park. Pottery and ceramic building material fragments of post-medieval date were recovered from a deposit beneath the car park, but otherwise no significant archaeological remains were encountered.
