Abstract: |
John Moore Heritage Services (JMHS) undertook an archaeological evaluation south of Warren Farm, Forest Road, Wokingham, Berkshire (SU 8122 7106) in advance of the erection of facilities building, ménage and associated works, formation of new access and change of use of land to keeping horses and kitchen garden (Planning Ref: F/2012/0651). Three 15m long evaluation trenches were excavated over the areas to be affected by the new development. A simple sequence of overburden was recorded in the trenches. One shallow scoop was within Trench 3. No finds were recovered from the feature or the trenches. Eight test pits were excavated by machine in the areas designated for a new kitchen garden and ménage. An attempt was made to sieve for finds but wet conditions made this impracticable. As a result the topsoil was hand troweled and one sherd of post-medieval pottery alongside other insignificant modern finds was recovered (not retained). |
