Abstract:
Four trial-trenches were excavated as part of the archaeological evaluation. Trench 2 produced three substantial archaeological features: the earliest was a probable well shaft, which contained Roman material, but two probable Saxon ditches were also identified. Trench 3 produced a further ditch, also likely to be Saxon and a small pit. The presence of these features raised the possibility of additional settlement features in the vicinity; the construction of a well shaft through chalk, for example, was not a task that would be have been undertaken lightly, especially considering the relative proximity of the River Lambourn. Three probable Saxon features within such a relatively restricted area also suggested that additional deposits might be present. Trenches 1 and 4 did not produce any archaeological remains. Trench 4 had, however, been entirely truncated by the construction of buildings associated with the stables on the site. The Roman and Saxon features, were of considerable interest in regard to the historical development of Lambourn, suggesting that the Saxon settlement may have been of greater extent than originally assumed.
