Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Charles Knowles Desgin acting on behalf of Mr Pete Czernin to undertake an archaeological watching brief during development at the Grade II Listed 18th century Avington Manor, Avington, Hungerford, West Berkshire, (NGR SU 37089 68063). The house was constructed upon and partially includes elements of an earlier 16th century structure. The fieldwork consisted of the monitoring of excavated foundation trenches for a new extension and a cable trench to connect the manor house and associated buildings to a new biomass heating system. The fieldwork was undertaken between June and July 2015. The watching brief identified a single small stone wall potentially associated with the foundation of the manor though this could not be proved and a number of brick built walls associated with post-medieval or modern out-buildings not identified on historic mapping. Below-ground structural remains were identified during the excavation of the foundation trenches and are likely to represent an earlier phase of building prior to the 1970s extension. A brick lined well was also recorded. No further archaeological investigation is recommended on the site.
