Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in November 2018 at Land to the North of Newbury, West Berkshire. Twenty six of the planned twenty eight trenches were excavated on site. The results of a concurrent metal detector survey of the site in September 2018 are covered in a separate report appended to that of the evaluation. The archaeological investigation is an extension of a previous evaluation on the site carried out by Cotswold Archaeology in 2014. The evaluation has recorded prehistoric finds from the topsoil, subsoil and colluvial deposits across the whole site in varying quantities in the form of worked and burnt flint, with one featue, a pit, contained flint dated to the Late Neolithic or Bronze age. Pottery sherds and CBM from the topsoil and subsoil across the site also indicates evidence of residual Roman activity within the site. The majority of the finds and features found during the evaluation correspond to Post-medieval activity within the site. |
