Excavation and Survey at Watchfield, Oxfordshire, 1983–92

Geophysical survey and excavation have demonstrated that iron age settlement features and early Anglo-Saxon burials discovered during road construction in 1983 were part of an extensive multi-period site, now a Scheduled Ancient Monument. This paper presents the results of the archaeological investigations. The bulk of the report is concerned with the early Anglo-Saxon burials, which included a grave containing a balance, weights and runic inscription. The evidence for late mesolithic, neolithic—early bronze age, iron age and post-medieval activity is also discussed, and the site is considered in its regional and wider context
