Abstract:		 Excavation of four large areas at Oldway Lane ahead of the development at Cippenham revealed a plethora of prehistoric features. The earliest were Early Neolithic, their function probably for ritual deposition, there was likely to have been occupation nearby too. Only sherds of pottery represented the Later Neolithic period on the site. A ring-ditch and a few isolated Middle Bronze Age features indicated ritual activity on the site in that period, but no occupation. Deposits in the vicinity of the ditch could have been part of the ceremonial activity associated with burial. A Late Bronze Age occupation site fell within the pattern established for the Middle Thames region. The site was unenclosed and comprised post holes, shallow pits and a possible fence; but structural evidence was insubstantial. There was also evidence for two Late Bronze Age cremation burials within pits. The Middle/Late Iron Age and Roman use of the Old Way Lane sites spanned up to 500 years. There appeared to be a broad degree of continuity of use of the site, deposits represented landscape features reflecting pastoral farming rather than settlement. Medieval landscape features representing low level activity were also excavated. [AIP]
