Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Gotelee Orchard-Lisle Chartered Architects, on behalf of Yattendon Estates Ltd, to carry out an archaeological watching brief on groundworks relating to the redevelopment of the Grade II Listed Royal Oak Public House (PH) at Yattendon, Berkshire. Conditional planning permission (ref: 17/01297/FUL) and listed building consent (ref: 17/01298/LBC2) were granted for redevelopment proposals to the building which included the construction of a new dining room and WCs to the rear of the existing building, remodelling of the existing kitchen, the relocation of the existing oil tank and minor internal alterations. A planning condition of the work imposed by West Berkshire Council required an archaeological watching brief during all groundworks associated with the redevelopment. The watching brief involved the monitoring of foundation trenches, underpinning trenches plus drainage and underground tank installation. This work was carried out between 15th June and 30th July 2018. The excavation methods employed by contractors varied from machine excavated trenches to hand dug underpinning trenches across a wide area. The area covered enabled a good understanding of the general existing soil sequences across the site. From trench observations, it was possible to identify widespread and characteristic dark grey topsoil. This deep deposit overlay the distinctive orange coloured sandy silt natural. This was recorded in all trenches.
