Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in November 2015 at land to the North of Cutbush Lane, Shinfield, Berkshire. Thirty-two evaluation trenches were excavated. Archaeological features identified and recorded during the evaluation were located in Trenches 1, 2, 8, 10, 11, 16 and 29. No archaeological remains were encountered in the remaining trenches. A single Bronze Age cremation was encountered in the middle of the site but was left unexcavated. A number of ditches of probable Iron Age or Roman date were uncovered on the southern end of the site within Trenches 10, 29 and 33, representing an extensive field system. A group of other ditches were also uncovered to the east of the site within Trenches 1, 2 and 11, which were dated to the medieval and post-medieval period. These features have been interpreted as representing a medieval agricultural landscape focused on the high ground to the east of the site. |
