Abstract: |
John Moore Heritage Services conducted a watching brief and an archaeological excavation following an evaluation at 29-31 Cressingham Road in Reading, Berkshire (NGR SU 7286 7089) in August and September 2010. The purpose of the watching brief was to monitor the removal of foundations from earlier buildings on the site while the purpose of the excavation was to record all archaeological features present on the site in the area of the new build. The area contained until recently a residential dwelling with a drive at the front and a garden to the rear. This building was demolished prior to the excavation, but its footings had partly destroyed the archaeology on the site. The preserved features indicate that a number of ditches and pits from the late Iron Age and the Roman period are present in the area. The excavation has therefore contributed to a much better understanding of the site. |
