Abstract: |
The site was located within the Newbury Conservation Area. The assessment demonstrated that the site had low potential for finds from most prehistoric periods. However, there was high potential for evidence of Mesolithic activity, in the form of worked flint and potential waterlogged deposits. The site also had a high potential for medieval and post-medieval remains from at least the 12th century. This could include the remains of buildings, burgage plots, pits and middens. The site did appear to have impacted by modern development although the extent of this was unclear. [Au(adp)] |
