Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Parsons Brinckerhoff on behalf of the University of Reading to undertake an archaeological evaluation on land off Cutbush Lane, north-east of the village of Shinfield, Berkshire, centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) SU 73700 69000. The Site has been proposed for the construction of the new University of Reading Science and Innovation Park, including ancillary facilities, landscaped gardens and parking. The overarching development plan is to be phased over a 20 to 25 year period and will ultimately encompass approximately 20ha between Cutbush Lane and the M4, and will be serviced by and intersect with the Shinfield Eastern Relief Road. Berkshire Archaeology acting as archaeological advisor to Wokingham Borough Council requested that a programme of archaeological evaluation be undertaken in order to supply sufficient information regarding potential buried archaeological remains. A total of 22 trenches were excavated within the footprint of the Phase One area (5.8ha) of the proposed development. Earlier geophysical survey had indicated the possible presence of pits and ditches, but no archaeological features or deposits were revealed other than several post-medieval or modern land drains. Most of the geophysical anomalies are thought likely to reflect variations in the natural geology.
