Abstract:		 Between September and October 2008, Oxford Archaeology (OA) carried out an archaeological evaluation at AWE Burghfield, Berkshire. The work was carried out on the site of the proposed MENSA development for Atkins Heritage, on behalf of the Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE). Evidence of the Royal Ordnance Factory (ROF), which occupied the site prior to the existing AWE facility was recorded in the main development area, including late medieval and undated archaeological features at the periphery of this area to the north-west, south-east and east. No archaeology was encountered within the application area at Pingewood Gate to the north-east. In most of the trenches, the natural geology was sealed by at least one layer of alluvial clay, suggesting that although the site had previously been disturbed by development there remains a potential for the survival of archaeological remains in undisturbed areas, although this is likely to be low and limited to agricultural activities during the medieval and post-medieval periods.
