Abstract:		 In February and March 2011 Archaeological Services and Consultancy Ltd carried out a programme of archaeological works at John Rankin Infant and Nursery School, Newbury, Berkshire for a new school building. A metal detector survey was carried out across the footprint of the new building but no finds of archaeological significance were discovered. This was followed by a programme of monitoring during ground reduction and the excavation of foundation pads holes. A feature, most likely a pond, was seen within a number of pads at the south and west of the site, no archaeological finds were recovered from the up-cast deposits. A post-medieval land drain was sealed by the pond fills, suggesting it is post medieval in date. No other archaeological features or finds were revealed. However, as the ground works were limited in scope this does not preclude the presence of archaeological remains elsewhere on the site.
