Bronze Age Settlements and a Saxon Hut near Bourton-on-the- Water, Gloucestershire
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 January 2012
Extract
The site of the following discovery is a gravel-pit owned by Mr. George Young on the west side of the Fosse Way, midway between Slaughter Bridge and Stow Bridge, and 1½ miles NNE. of Bourton-on-the-Water. In the course of digging, during the past few years, a series of circular ditches has been observed in the gravel on three sides of the pit. Unfortunately it has not been possible to plan the ditches, of which there seem to be three. Recently a ditch was cleared out for about a quarter of its length, and appeared to have a diameter of about ioo ft. The ditch was V-shaped, 6 to 6½ ft. wide and 3 to 5 ft. deep, with a stiff red clay filling, in the upper part of which were embedded some oolite stones. The stones occurred over the middle of the ditch or towards its inner side, and may possibly have once lined the sides of the ditch, and slipped out of position as the ditch filled up. A section of the ditch with the stones is shown in pl. LIII, fig. 1, taken after the top soil, about 12 in. deep, containing late Roman pottery, had been cleared away.

page 283 note 1 It may be noted that the Beaker-folk did not succeed in penetrating into the Cotswolds, which was intensively occupied by the builders of the Long Barrows (see O. G. S. Crawford, Long Barrows of the Cotswolds, p. 10). Thus in this region there was cultural continuity from the late neolithic period down to the end of the Bronze Age.

page 291 note 1 Oxen used in ploughing seem to have been first shod in the Norman period (G. Fleming, Horse-shoes and Horse-shoeing, pp. 270, 397), but the practice does not appear to be general until later medieval times. Ox-shoes (called ‘cues’) were in use in Sussex and elsewhere until about the end of last century (Sussex Arch. Coll., xlvi, pl. 6, no. 13), and still had the ‘sinuous’ outline of Norman horse-shoes. In the bailiff's accounts of the Manor of Dorking, temp. Richard II, occurs the following entry: ‘the forefeet of Oxen used in plowing, and heifers in harrowing, were shod, at 3d each’ (Arch., xviii, 284).
