The remains of a roasting hearth from the college's original kitchen was one of the features unearthed by archaeologists
Archaeologists at the site said the medieval layout of Oriel College, which was founded in 1326, could now be better understood.The remains of a stone wall were also discovered, which archaeologists said was probably a former boundary on the edge of land previously owned by the college.Ben Ford, senior project manager at Oxford Archaeology, said: "The discovery of a roasting hearth and oven base tells us where Oriel's medieval kitchens were located.
Ford added their previous understanding of the college's medieval structure from historical maps and documents had been "patchy"."These recent findings at Oriel build on our understanding of how it has developed," he said.
