Abstract: |
A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land northeast of Shinfield, Berkshire (centred on NGR 473700, 169000). The project was commissioned by Parsons Brinckerhoff on behalf of the University of Reading with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features on the site ahead of Phase One of the proposed development of the new Science and Innovation Park. The site comprises arable fields located northeast of the lane between Cutbush House and Land End Farm, covering an area of approximately 5.8ha. The geophysical survey was undertaken on 13th and 14th April 2015. The detailed gradiometer survey has demonstrated the presence of a number of anomalies of archaeological interest across the site. The anomalies identified as being of archaeological interest are primarily pit-like and ditch-like features. Features identified in the western field are likely to represent possible small enclosures whilst the eastern field presents little evidence for further archaeological features. Additionally, this archaeological investigation has detected evidence for a former field boundary as well as areas of increased magnetic response, superficial geology and evidence for some historic cultivation. |
