Abstract:		 Greenlane Archaeology carried out an archaeological desk-based assessment of Building 587, Curie Avenue, Harwell Campus, Oxfordshire. Remains dating from at least the Mesolithic period onwards are known from the wider area, with Iron Age to Romano-British being particularly prevalent. The site is located between two ancient routes and a settlement at Harwell is recorded from at least the 10th century. The study site occupied an area of common land until the start of the 19th century, before becoming agricultural land – part of Down Farms – until 1935. It then became part of RAF Harwell, an RAF expansion period airbase. It was situated close to the edge of the airbase complex and apparently had no buildings on it during this period. The site became part of the Atomic Energy Research Establishment (AERE) in 1946, and was occupied by a succession of buildings, the functions of which remain unclear. There is potential for previously unknown buried archaeological remains to survive, the most likely being of Roman or post-medieval date, but the site is likely to have seen substantial disturbance due to the previous buildings constructed on it, including the present one.
