Abstract:		 In October 2020, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological excavation of land at Norcot Community Centre, in Reading, Berkshire. An area of c.0.005ha was excavated within the site. The excavation succeeded in its objective of further characterising the ditch associated with the Tilehurst Bank Linear Earthwork, as well as identifying a potentially earlier ditch. The ditches were likely to have been dug in the Middle Iron Age but by the Late Iron Age had been abandoned. The material excavated from the ditches is likely to have been used in the construction of the Tilehurst Bank. Residual material from the Mesolithic, Neolithic, and Bronze Age periods was recovered from the fill of the main ditch, but no features of these dates were identified.
