Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Bellway Homes Limited (Thames Valley Division) to carry out an archaeological trial trench evaluation on the site of the former Winkworth Machinery Ltd., Willow Tree Works, Swallowfield, Berkshire. The evaluation was undertaken in advance of a proposed development and the associated landscaping and infrastructure works. The Site is centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) SU 72397 64986. Planning permission had been granted for the proposed scheme, with this initial evaluation forming part of the archaeological mitigation associated with the consent prior to construction. The development works comprise of the demolition of the extant buildings in the eastern part of the Site prior to the construction of 38 dwellings with hard and soft landscaping, open space, parking provision and associated infrastructure. The evaluation was unable to confirm the presence or absence of archaeological remains. The initial trenching revealed that land within a large area of the eastern half of the Site was heavily contaminated with fuel oil and heavily disturbed by the previous works on the Site. The western part of the Site is largely unaffected by the proposed development although a proposed pond area had already been stripped. Investigation in this area was restricted due to the presence of newts in this area. Limited hand excavation was able to ascertain the nature of the deposits within this area.
