Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited (PCA) carried out an archaeological evaluation in advance of the third stage of phased redevelopment at Reading Blue Coat School, Holme Park, Sonning Lane, Sonning, Berkshire, RG4 6SU. Although the evaluation uncovered only one natural peri-glacial feature, it did confirm the presence of extensive landscaping in the area, which sort to reclaim and level out land which had been previously quarried is cartographically represented from the late 19th century onwards. The landscaping involved the initial use of re-deposited alluvium overlain by a thick layer of possible garden soil to build up the ground height and levelling deposits composed from modern demolition which were in turn sealed by a modern topsoil. |
