Abstract: |
From 25th October to 8th November 2010 Oxford Archaeology South completed a programme of archaeological evaluation on land adjacent to Chievely Quarry, Berkshire (NGR: SU 483 724). The work was commissioned in advance of a proposed extension to the quarry works. A total of 40 trenches measuring 50m x 2m were excavated accounting for c.2% of the 40 ha site. The evaluation revealed two Iron Age field boundary ditches, orientated approximately NE-SW, and five small undated pits. Post-Medieval field boundaries and undated tree holes/disturbance were also revealed. The results suggest that the site lies in an area of low archaeological potential. |
