Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Three geoarchaeological boreholes were put down at the site following a previous archaeological evaluation carried out by Thames Valley Archaeological Services. The results indicate a gravel surface that slopes downwards from west to east across the site. A complex sequence of Holocene Peat, Tufa, Alluvium and possibly Marl overlies the Gravel capped by Made Ground. Assessment of these sequences indicates that the Peat formed from the early Mesolithic to late Mesolithic; the Tufa deposits formed shortly and after this, and rapidly. Assessment of the pollen and plant remains indicated a vegetation assemblage typical of the early Mesolithic in southern England (pine-birch-hazel woodland on the dryland; grasses, sedges and probably willow on the floodplain). More significant was the occurrence of charcoal and microcharcoal within the peat, indicative of episodes of burning that might be related to Mesolithic human activity.
