Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East was commissioned by AECOM Infrastructure and Environment UK Ltd to undertake an archaeological evaluation at Elms Field, Wokingham, Berkshire. Five trenches were mechanically excavated at the site, and two soakaway test pits monitored. The underlying natural sands were recorded between 61.91m OD in the south of the site (Trench 2) and 67.56m OD in the north (soakaway pit TPST 2). Potential archaeological features recorded include two linear features, a probable tree throw and a sequence of burnt material and chalk rubble. However, access to the open trenches was prohibited by the client meaning that the features remain uninvestigated and undated. Some 18th-early 20th century finds were noted in the overburden of the trenches. |
