Abstract:		 Archaeological trial trenches were excavated across the line of a former late 17th or 18th-century canal in the grounds of Swallowfield House, Berkshire. The canal was part of an ornamental landscape associated with the house. The excavations showed the canal to have been earth-cut, with no lining or other internal features, relying instead on the impermeability of the underlying natural clay geology to hold water. A series of weirs along its length would have acted as mechanisms to control flow and maintain the water levels. The canal had silted up and was backfilled in the early to middle part of the 19th century. An associated brick weir at the northern end of the canal was also examined and shown to have been subject to alteration and repair into the 20th century.
