Abstract:		 Border Archaeology Ltd (BA) was commissioned by South East Water (SEW) to carry out archaeological observations at Swinley Forest, Bracknell, owing to the proposal to insert a new water mains, which required archaeological monitoring. The route of this scheme was formed of three constituent pipelines; Route 1: Paschal Wood to Crowthorne Reservoir, Route 2: Crowthorne Reservoirs to Penny Hill and Route 3: Bracknell to Crowthorne Nine Mile Ride. The overall distance covered by the three routes was c.5.2km. This report focuses on the third route of the scheme; Route 3: Bracknell to Crowthorne Nine Mile Ride. With the findings from Routes 1 and 2 available in report ref:BA1445SEWSF (Cook, 2015), Route 3 was approximately 1.9km in length with only the first c.700m requiring archaeological observation. Route 3 originated immediately east of Caesar's Camp hillfort (HER MBF 7414) at SU 86658 65605 c.100m from the foot of the ramparts and continued 350m northeast then headed north for 300m adjacent to the extant tracks and woodland to join Nine Mile Ride/B3430 at SU 86910 66074. The route was subject to topsoil stripping for the creation of a working easement and a subsequent phase of pipe trenching for the insertion of the new water main. In addition to the proposed works a small compound measuring 30m × 30m was constructed near Caesar's Camp at SU 86804 65745, which also required archaeological monitoring. Prior to the start of works it was considered highly likely that archaeological features, finds and/or deposits of a Romano-British date were to be encountered due to the close proximity to the Iron Age hill fort Caesar's Camp. Despite this no evidence of Romano-British date was uncovered during the course of the observations, with much of the ground heavily disturbed by the extant Scots Pine tree plantation. The features observed, excavated and recorded have been assigned to the period of the modern plantation development.
