Abstract:		 In November 2009 Oxford Archaeology undertook a field evaluation on Lower Pound Lane, immediately west of Marlow, Buckinghamshire. Twenty trenches were excavated to assess archaeological implications for undertaking flood alleviation works at the site. Trenches were targeted on geophysical anomalies and variations in sub-surface topography identified from a previous borehole survey. The site is located on a gravel island within the Thames floodplain. Significant early prehistoric archaeology has been previously identified on the island including three possible Bronze Age barrows and evidence of Neolithic activity. The current phase of evaluation in the area was designed to establish whether this activity extended to the southern edges of the island. Low density potential archaeological features were recorded across northern and western parts of site. These included pits, postholes and ditches, a limited number contained finds which were of Neolithic date. A Neolithic rectangular enclosure was confirmed in trench 33. Abundant struck flint and a single sherd of Neolithic pottery were observed within the ploughsoil. In general there was little correlation between geophysical anomalies and archaeology. The trenching suggested that the geophysical responses were probably caused by geological and pedological changes. This phase of work has identified further evidence for Neolithic monuments and possible settlement activity on the island prior to the construction of the round barrows. This may suggest that rather than the barrows representing the peak of activity on the site, it may have been the final stages of a much longer lived phase of earlier activity based on the island.
