Abstract:		 This report is intended to inform the reader of the results of archaeological fieldwork by Wessex Archaeology at Christian Science Church, Newtown Road, Newbury, Berkshire. A phase of desk-based assessment had shown that the Site had low potential for finds of Prehistoric, Roman, or Early Medieval (Saxon) date. It was considered to have very high potential to contain deposits and features relating to the Medieval St Bartholomew's Hospital, a religious institution founded before 1215 to care for the poor, the old and the sick. Potential archaeological remains included a range of buildings documented to lie on the south side of the Litten Chapel (immediately to the north of the Site), and the hospital cemetery. Such remains would be of potentially national importance. Following the advice of the Planning Authority and their archaeological advisors, Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Antler Homes Wessex LTD to carry out an archaeological field evaluation on the Site, in order to clarify the actual nature and survival of the archaeological resource, in advance of proposals to develop the Site for housing. Three evaluation trenches were excavated in or close to the footprint of the proposed new buildings.
