Abstract: |
A watching brief and excavation were undertaken during the construction of a 3.2 km length of pumpaway sewer between Burnham Sewage Works and Slough Sewage Works. A number of features were examined during the detailed excavation phases. These included two definite cremation burials, one Middle/Late Bronze Age date and one of Late Iron Age date, and three further potential examples. A number of pits and dicthes indicated activity in the later prehistoric and Romano-British periods. In the watching brief ditches of Early and Late Iron Age date were recorded. A wall footing observed may have been part of an historic boundary associated with either Huntercombe Manor or Burnham Abbey. [Au] |
