Abstract: |
Oxford Archaeology South undertook an Evaluation at Broadmoor Hospital Estate, Crowthorne in advance of a new access road, part of a wider redevelopment of the hospital estate. The access road had previously been identified as the area within the development with the highest potential for archaeological discoveries. Unlike the main hospital site, this area was not subject to extensive terracing and ground disturbance during construction of the hospital in the late 19th century. Ten trenches were excavated in two fields, to test the results of a previous geophysical survey. The only archaeological features discovered were two ditches, found in Trenches 9 and 10, both of which are undated. A possible pit or tree-throw hole was also found in Trench 6. No significant artefacts were recovered. The results suggest that the proposed access road has very limited potential for archaeological discoveries. |
