Road workmen find Norman causeway


Recommended Posts

Workmen found part of a Norman causeway and arches under Abingdon Road and archaeologists were called in. The road has now reopened after six weeks and it is hoped the ruins will go on show to the public.

 

It is believed the remains are part of the great Grandpont causeway built by Robert d'Oilly, an Oxford nobleman who fought at the Battle of Hastings.
