The works comprised the removal of topsoil along the route of the new access path which ran for approximately 425m and measured 1.5m wide (Fig. 2). The watching brief was maintained during the removal of all deposits until impact depth was reached. Deposits were removed using a c. 3 tonne tracked excavator fitted with a toothless bucket. A photographic and written recorded was made of the all deposits observed and the works in general. In November 2021, Oxford Archaeology undertook a watching brief during the construction of a new access path at Badbury Hill, Great Coxwell, Oxfordshire. The works comprised the removal of topsoil and exposed the underlying subsoil. No archaeological features or deposits were noted. Two fragments of post-medieval ceramic building material were recovered from the topsoil but these were not retained
