Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in February 2016 at Shoppenhanger Manor, Manor Lane, Maidenhead. A total of fifteen evaluation trenches were excavated, of which archaeological features were identified and recorded within Trenches 10, 11, and 14. The evaluation confirmed the presence of archaeological remains within the western part of the site. The remains consisted of a number of Roman ditches that may form part of a boundary or enclosure ditch, which follows the line of the natural contour. The potential for further archaeological remains within this part of the site is high. The presence of residual pottery dating to the Iron Age pottery maybe an indication that there could be activity on the site which pre dates the Roman period. However, extensive truncation has occurred across the remainder of the site that is likely to have impacted upon below ground archaeological remains. Trench 6 and 8 contained the remains of modern brick walls associated with the, now demolished, early 20th century Shoppenhanger Manor. No evidence of any medieval remains or finds which may have indicated a precursor to the 20th century manor house could be identified. The remaining trenches contained no archaeological remains. |
