Abstract:		 A watching brief was conducted by John Moore Heritage Services during ground reduction in advance of demolition of seven bedsits and the erection of four dwellings and vehicular accesses (P11/W0519) at 34 Honey Lane, Cholsey, Oxfordshire (NGR 458822 186280). The principal north-south Roman road through the county from Dorchester to Silchester was uncovered beneath the former house during the removal of concrete footings. The road surface was initially uncovered towards the centre of the site and limited hand excavation took place across the uppermost surface of the road. During the removal of the concrete footings of the previous building a chalky bedding deposit was encountered which supported the road agger. During ground work for beam trenches between newly installed concrete piles, the road surface was again impacted upon and sections showing the 'agger' and road surface metalling along with a probable Roman road side ditch were recorded. Other possible ditches either side of Roman Road 108 may indicate the shifting alignment of the road over a long period of time perhaps as part of general road maintenance and/or resurfacing. This watching brief enabled a rare glimpse into the construction techniques used for the Roman road at Cholsey.
