Has the name game defeated us? 'Cos there's a lot needs doing out there.
Picked this up on the Portal's newspage:
"Archaeologists and local volunteers have revealed a significant area of Romano-British settlement as well as evidence for Neolithic and Bronze Age activity between Warborough, Benson and Berrick Salome on land threatened by sand and gravel extraction in the Oxfordshire County Council Draft Structure Plan."

yes it is, I picked it up on the newswire this morning.
gravel extraction has already made a bloody mess of west Oxon, where I am, it'd be a shame to trash south oxon as well, there loads of stuff down there, barrows and tumps and stuff.
