Bampton: the area of the church and Deanery, showing prehistoric and Anglo-Saxon ditches, surface contours surface spot heights, and spot-heights on exposures of the natural gravel. that Abingdon Abbey cut a navigation channel alongside the Thames in the 1050s; the possibility that the Bampton channel is something similar, and associated with the rninster or royal manor there, will be explored in future seasons. A Saxo-Norman sunken-featured building (SP31350321) South of the churchyard, the layout of property boundaries suggests that the road from the south once broadened into a funnel-shaped open space, suggestive of an early market at the minster gate. Excavations on the east side of this area, in the garden of Thatched Cottage (by lcind permission of Mr T Crowley), located a small rectangular sunken building of two phases (Figs 7 and 8). The first phase, represented by shallow post-settings, was dismantled and the floor raised slightly. A rubble footing for sill-beams was then built on the alignment of the old walls; several meat-bones served as chocics inserted under the sills to level them up. There were traces of an entrance on the east side, and the building was flanked on its west side by the terminal of a north-south ditch. The small amount of pottery suggested a date around the 1 lth century. This building was clearly a small version of the late Anglo-Saxon sunken and cellared buildings now familiar from towns such as London, Chester, York and Ipswich. On purely rural sites they are rare if not unknown, but the smallest examples (most clearly Northampton and Steyning) come from just such places as Bampton: minster centres with signs of incipient urban life in the 10th and 1 lth centuries. The ditch, which may have marked the east side of the early market-place, separated the building off from it, though the ditch apparently ended in a gap immediately southwards. Possibly this suggests that the building was a store or lodge immediately inside the gate of a large ditched homestead. It is in any case important evidence for an early stage in the evolution of Bampton from monastic site to town.
