Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by The Rowe Partnership Ltd, on behalf of Rotterdam Properties Ltd to undertake an archaeological evaluation on land to the East of Park Way, Newbury Berkeshire (NGR SU 47250 67612). The work was undertaken on the 2nd and 3rd July 2015 and comprised the excavation of two machine excavated trial trenches. Soil sequences present within trenches 4 and 5 were consistent with those recorded within the three previously excavated trenches on the site (TVAS 1996). Variations in the lower alluvial strata imply that the eastern side of the site supported a permanent stream environment with fairly fast flowing water with marsh land extending into the western side of the site. This is suggested by the presence of the layer of peat recorded at the limit of excavation (1.3m below ground level) in trench 4. The recovery of pottery dating to the medieval period from the layers sealing the peat in trench 4 corresponds to the previously recovered ceramic assemblage from the site. The residual prehistoric flint flake and the abraded Iron Age pottery sherd are of interest however no features or deposits of this date were identified
