Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in October and November 2014 at Water Oakley, Berkshire. The work was undertaken to inform outline planning permission (13/02719/OUT) that has been granted for the residential development of the site Seventeen trenches were excavated across the site and revealed a low potential for the presence and survival of archaeological features and deposits. Only three trenches revealed the presence of archaeological features comprising a ditch and two post holes likely to be post medieval to modern in date but no dateable artefacts were recovered or present. With large amounts of modern disturbance occurring across parts of site, particularly in the north as a result of gravel extraction, there is a strong likelihood that any archaeology that may have been present has been truncated and removed. There was in particular no evidence of any Roman features or deposits relating to extensive Roman activity identified in previous work undertaken to the west of the site prior to gravel extraction in the 1960s. However, although modern truncation was less evident in the southern and eastern parts of the site no significant archaeological features or deposits were revealed in this part of the site either. This suggests that there is a low potential for the presence or survival of archaeological features and deposits at the site. |
