Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Farr and Roberts Landscaping to undertake an archaeological watching brief during proposed landscaping within the grounds of Great Martins, Shurlock Row, Reading, Berkshire (NGR SU 83486 74720). Planning permission had been granted for (ref: 14/02872) a new driveway layout and landscaping works subject to an archaeological watching brief being undertaken. Great Martins is a Grade II listed property (list entry 1135846) comprising a 16th century house which was altered and extended in the 17th. Great Martins was acquired by Henry Hewitt in the late 1840's he established a brewery at the site with associated buildings a lavish new house at the west end of the old farmhouse. Although most of the brewery buildings were subsequently demolished the 19th century house still remains. The watching brief was conducted within eight areas adjacent to the house comprising works associated with the driveway, formal garden, remodelling and services in the vicinity of the house complex. Although the watching brief did identify some walls thought to belong to the 19th century brewery buildings on the south-west side of the house and an earlier 20th century patio and steps associated with the south-western frontage in general the excavation areas did not proceed below the modern or post-medieval deposits and no earlier archaeological features were found. Tree relocation in the area of the formal garden did expose sections through to the underlying natural geology however within these small areas there was no evidence for pre-19th century features or activity.
