Introduction
Border Archaeology was instructed by South East Water to undertake Archaeological Observation (excluding that portion of the route immediately E of the golf driving range) of engineering groundworks in connection with the Wood Lane Offsite Developer Main Wood Lane at Binfield, Bracknell Forest, Berkshire (NGR: SU 85024 69954 to NGR: SU 84904 70610).
Groundworks were carried out under archaeological supervision with material removed in level spits using a backacting toothless bucket down to the first significant archaeological horizon or to engineering depth, whichever was encountered first. The engineering groundworks combined direct drilling and open-cut trenching across agricultural land. Where access pits were excavated to allow for directional drilling, a depth of 1.20m was not exceeded.
No features of archaeological significance were uncovered. The only notable feature was a modern waste pit, filled with modern CBM and ceramics.
