Abstract:		 The fieldwork comprised the excavation of 22 trenches. Trenches 1-18 and 21 measured 30m x 2m, Trench 19 measured 20m x 2m, and Trenches 20 and 22 measured 25m x 2m. The initial 17 trenches were targeted on features identified in a geophysical survey of the site undertaken in 2015. A further 5 additional trenches were excavated at the request by Kathelen Leary, Berkshire Archaeology, in order to test the distribution of features uncovered during the first phase of trenching. Trenches were set out on OS National Grid (NGR) co-ordinates using Leica GPS and surveyed in accordance with CA Technical Manual 4 Survey Manual. An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in February 2016 at Beech Hill, Spencer's Wood, Wokingham, Berkshire. Twenty-two trenches were excavated. A small ditch of Late Iron Age/Early Roman date was observed running between trenches 3 and 19. The ditch contained a large assemblage of locally produced pottery as well as the fragments of a number of loom weights. This ditch was probably associated with an area of Iron Age/Romano-British settlement uncovered during archaeological investigation of the area immediately to the east of the site. Furthermore, a long curvilinear post-medieval drainage ditch was also uncovered extending across a number of trenches along the eastern and southern boundaries of the site. Two undated pits and a small section of ditch were also uncovered in the north-western corner of the site.
