Abstract: |
The fieldwork comprised of the excavation of 35 trenches (between 23.2 and 31m
long x 1.85m wide). A number of trenches were moved to avoid existing boundaries and fly-tipping. An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in June 2018 at land north of London Road, Datchet. Thirty five trenches were excavated. Archaeological features were identified within ten trenches with the remaining trenches containing no archaeological finds, features or deposits.
A series of field systems was identified during the course of the evaluation across the site. A prehistoric ditch was identified within Trench 24, while prehistoric pottery and flint were identified within the topsoil and subsoil of Trenches 30 and 32. This is indicative of dispersed prehistoric activity occurring within the immediate vicinity of the site.
An undated curvilinear ring ditch was also uncovered during the course of the evaluation but its function is uncertain based on the limited information recovered. |
