Abstract: |
In October 2011 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried an archaeological investigation by controlled soil stripping and recording on land at Bear Ash, Bear Lane, Wargrave, Reading, Berkshire (NGR SU 8060 7894). The investigation was commissioned by Mr Paul Harris and was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning permission for the extension of an existing fixed level lake, to include a new connection into an overflow attenuation pond where water levels will be allowed to fluctuate naturally. The site lies within a rural location off Bear Lane c. 1.25km north-north-east of the village of Hare Hatch. It lies in the vicinity of a Scheduled Ancient Monument comprising a possible medieval moat. The site had a potential for Romano-British, medieval and post-medieval archaeological remains. An archaeological evaluation was carried out in advance of proposals to extend the dwelling of Bear Ash in 2009 (Pozorski 2009). It revealed no archaeological features. A geophysical survey was carried out to determine the extent and significance of sub-surface features (Stratascan 2011). No probable archaeological features or anomalies were recorded. An area of anomalies to the north west of the proposed lake extension and a linear anomaly to the north east were identified. The soil stripping recorded four modern linear ditches. |
