Abstract:		 A field evaluation was undertaken at the site of the proposed new Community Hospital in Newbury. Mesolithic/Early Neolithic worked flints were recovered in the northern part of the site, but not in sufficient quantities to suggest in situ early prehistoric activity. Three Romano-British ditches were discovered in the southern part of the site. The quantity of pottery recovered suggested the presence of an early Roman settlement nearby, most likely a settlement site excavated by Crawford in 1919, c.150m to the south-east, on the south side of London Road. The southern edge of the site seemed to have been extensively quarried for gravel, the date of this activity was unknown. [Au(adp)]
