Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in August 2018 at South Wokingham Distributer Road, Spine Road and Western Gateway Wokingham, Berkshire. One hundred and twenty eight trenches, were excavated, and one trench, Trench 108, was widened to fully expose a potential feature. Despite the archaeological potential of the wider environs of the site, the majority of the trenches were archaeologically sterile with no finds, features or deposits recovered. Where archaeology was encountered the majority of it was post-medieval in date consisting of post-medieval ditches and a quarry. One feature of note was recorded during the evaluation, a pit within Trench 108. Pit 10803 contained 15 sherds of Middle Iron Age pottery, seven fragments of fired clay and three items of metal working debris, indicating possible evidence of ironworking. This is of note as there is limited evidence of Iron Age settlement in the immediate vicinity of the site, with occupation sites generally occurring on the lighter, better drained soils along the river valleys, close to the River Loddon to the northwest, and the River Thames further north.
