Digital Archive from an Archaeological Excavation at St Hilda's College, Cowley Place, Oxford, November to December 2018

This collection comprises images, reports, site records, spreadsheets and CAD from an Archaeological Excavation at St Hilda's College, Cowley Place, Oxford. This was undertaken by Oxford Archaeology (South) between November and December 2018. The work involved archaeological strip, map and sample excavation in mitigation of the New Front redevelopment. Two late17th-century and 18thcentury ditches were revealed, that probably marked the eastern boundary of a farmstead that was first depicted on Logganapos;s map of 1675. The ditches were superseded by a stone wall that probably formed the boundary for the garden of Cowley House which occupied the site from the late 18th century. Several pits of later18th and 19thcentury date were also revealed, probably associated with this garden. Additionally, two stonelined pits and a stonelined drain of 19thcentury date were recorded, probably associated with buildings that later occupied the southern end of the garden.
