Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken in two phases by Cotswold Archaeology in March and June 2016 at land off Wexham Road, Slough, Berkshire. The fieldwork was undertaken to fulfil a condition attached to a planning application for residential development of the site. The evaluation comprised the excavation of twenty-three trenches. Archaeological interest in the site derives from its location immediately north of a small Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age settlement and two Anglo-Saxon post-built halls. The earliest feature identified within the site comprised a pit containing a single sherd of Late Bronze Age to Early Iron Age pottery. No other features of Late Prehistoric date were identified during the evaluation and no evidence of features, finds or deposits relating to Anglo-Saxon settlement was identified. Within the south-western and northern part of the site, the evaluation recorded the remains of a medieval to late post-medieval/modern field system. The ditches fit within the general alignment identified within the surrounding field systems depicted on historic and current Ordnance Survey mapping. The ditches are likely to represent boundary and/or drainage features. A single sherd of post-medieval roof-tile was recovered from one of these ditches. Evidence for modern landscaping and truncation, most probably associated with the former nursery gardens was revealed throughout the northern part of the site. Within the southern part of the site 19th-century pits and a soakaway were identified, as well as a number of undated pits, postholes and ditches. Other investigated features were shown to be geological in origin.
