Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	This report details the results of work undertaken between October 2017 and March 2018 on three excavation areas. The archaeology encountered was multi-phase with three historical periods; prehistoric, Roman and post-medieval. the underlying natural geology was encountered in two areas and comprised sandy terrace gravels and Langley silts (brickearth). A sequence of Lower Alluvium, peat and Upper Alluvium was encountered at various depth in all of the excavation area, especially in Excavation Area 2 where a stepped trench was excavated. Deeper slots were excavated in Area1 to investigate floodplain and natural deposits (Taplow Gravel). The peat was not encountered in Excavation Area 1 but in the other two areas peat was encountered of an Early to Middle Neolithic date (Area 2) and Early/Middle Bronze Age (Area 3). Area 3 exposed 13 timbers Ye, Oak and Ash) within the peat of Early Bronze Age date, one of which was worked with cut notches used in the process of hollowing out the Yew tree trunk. The peat deposits follow the natural topography and fall towards the south. Roman features in the form of pits were found in Area 1 cut into the brickearth and associated with Roman pottery. Flood deposits thought to have been formed in the medieval/post-medieval period were encountered in all excavation areas.
