Full Description
In 2005 Oxford Archaeology carried out an excavation on land east of Tesco Extra, Westwood. A rectilinear enclosure system overlying all previous periods of activity on the site. It was tentatively dated to the medieval period on this basis and on the strength of a sherd of medieval pottery from one of the ditches. (1-2)
