Abstract/Summary

In 2012 an excavation was undertaken in advance of housing development to the south of Banbury Lane, Middleton Cheney following the discovery of two pits containing Late Neolithic grooved ware pottery during the evaluation. Further definitive evidence of Neolithic activity was not located, but three Early Bronze Age cremation burials lay in the vicinity and an early Bronze Age circular post-built structure was located south-east of the cremations.
