Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology during groundworks associated with the development of the kitchen garden area of the Tudor period Shaw House, Newbury, West Berkshire. A north-west/south-east aligned linear cut feature was partially exposed in the south-western extent of the groundworks. A small assemblage of post-medieval bone and ceramic building material, as well as residual worked flint of Bronze Age date, was recorded from the fill of the possible ditch. It is possible the ditch was part of temporary Civil War defences during the Second Battle of Newbury in October 1644, which was centred on Shaw House. |
