Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Adrian Havercroft of The Guildhouse Consultancy acting on behalf of CEMEX UK Materials Ltd, to carry out a programme of archaeological work in advance of mineral extraction at Eversley Quarry, Fleet Hill Farm, Finchampstead, Berkshire (NGR 478508 162237). This report presents an assessment of the results of two phases of Strip, Map and Sample undertaken by Wessex Archaeology from April 2010 to June 2011. Previous phases of evaluation and excavation on the Site, carried out by Cotswold Archaeology in 2008 and 2009, recorded a low density of archaeological remains - broadly assigned to the medieval period but also including a discrete complex of late prehistoric features. The 2010 and 2011 works included the excavation of a total of 10.62 hectares, specifically related to site Phase 1B and Phase 2. The excavations described here recorded a system of post-medieval/modern field drainage ditches, overlying a series of shallow circular, charcoal-filled pit-like features, mostly tree-throw holes, considered to be associated with the felling and removal of trees. Radiocarbon dates from charred plant remains from one of these pit-like features indicate an 11th - 12th century AD date. The results are interpreted as an earlier medieval phase of land clearance and improvement, probably for arable agriculture and possibly relating to a period of assarting. The suggestion that these features were associated with possible metalworking activity is rejected. This document presents the results of the 2010-11 archaeological work. No further post-excavation analysis is deemed necessary, although it is recommended that a short summary of the results is published in the county journal.
