Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of an office development. Excavations nearby had revealed possible Iron Age structures and several phases of medieval buildings, whilst artefacts dating from all periods between the Palaeolithic and the post-medieval had been recorded in the surrounding area. A Roman cemetery lay at the edge of Newbury. During the evaluation, which was restricted to a small area of the site, a probable drainage gully and a modern pit were observed, and three residual sherds of medieval pottery were recovered. Post-medieval finds included fragments of clay pipe, pottery and glass, and cattle bones displaying butchery marks. It was concluded that future evaluation over a more extensive area could yield more conclusive results. [AIP] |
