Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by the Countryside and Environment section of West Berkshire Council to undertake an archaeological watching brief during a programme of works on the Ridgeway National Trail, West Berkshire (hereafter referred to as 'The Site'). The works involved the excavation of new drainage ditches, cross drains and soakaways as well as the stripping of small sections of the trail in advance of the laying of a new surface, to improve the ground condition of the trail. The location of a burial discovered within a ditch only 1km from a known Roman temple and in the vicinity of large numbers of Roman finds suggests that a previously unknown extensive Roman ritual and burial landscape may be located around Warren Farm extending over a wider area than has been previously anticipated. |
