Abstract: |
Archaeological Surveys Ltd carried out a ground penetrating radar (GPR) survey within the garden of 22 Oxford Street, Lambourn, West Berkshire. The work was carried out as part of research undertaken by the owner. Excavations within an adjacent site, carried out by Foundations Archaeology in 2007, revealed significant archaeological deposits of Roman and Saxon date and the potential for a villa somewhere in the vicinity. Test pits dug by the landowner in his garden have revealed deposits and features of archaeological potential, but of uncertain extent. The GPR survey located a number of anomalies that include linear and area features of archaeological potential. In the south eastern part of the garden an area of complex reflectors may indicate the presence of made ground and structural debris, possibly associated with a demolished building. Several linear anomalies were located in the northern part of the garden and these are likely to be associated with former paths and walls, but their full extant was not revealed. Deeper linear features (0.7 - 0.8m) were located at the far western end of the survey. Small areas of complex reflectors were recorded, and at the northern limit of the survey a zone of planar and complex reflectors may indicate structural remains. |
