Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Bellway Homes Ltd (Wessex) to carry out an archaeological evaluation at the Former Avenue School Site, Northumberland Avenue, Reading, Berkshire, which has been proposed for residential redevelopment, centred on National Grid Reference 472118 171858. An initial assessment of the southern half of the site (Phase 1, Extra Care Home) was carried out in 2010. The Phase 1 archaeological works confirmed that significant disturbance and landscaping had taken place. The evaluation of the northern half of the former school site (Phase 2) consisted of the machine excavation of 21 trial trenches measuring approximately 15m by 1.8m and was carried out between the 25th and the 29th of June 2012. No significant evidence was found for archaeological features or deposits, although a possible post-medieval/19th century boundary ditch 803 and the brick footings of two discrete structures (a soak-away 2404 and a possible toilet block 1806) were noted together with footings and disturbance relating to the former school buildings.
