The work was commissioned by Mr Stephen Wrzesinski of Graz Design Studio, Holly Barn, Lower Farm Court, Hambridge Lane, Newbury, Berkshire, RG14 5TH on behalf of Donnington Developments Limited, 36 Castle Grove, Newbury, Berkshire, RG14 1PR. Planning consent (04/02047/FUL) has been granted by West Berkshire Council to construct a replacement house and garage on the above site subject to a condition (10) relating to archaeology and which requires a programme of archaeological works in the form of a watching brief. This is in accordance with the Department of the Environment’s Planning Policy Guidance, Archaeology and Planning (PPG16 1990), and the Council policies on archaeology. The field investigation was carried out to a specification approved by Duncan Coe, Archaeological Officer for West Berkshire Council. The fieldwork was undertaken by Sarah Coles and Pamela Jenkins between 12th and 31st May 2005 and the site code is CLW 04/117. The archive is presently held at Thames Valley Archaeological Services, Reading and will be deposited at West Berkshire Museum in due course. Location, topography and geology The site is located on level ground on the south side of the Roman road Ermin Street between the villages of Lambourn and Chilton Foliat (Fig. 2) and it lies approximately 188m above Ordnance Datum. The geology is described as Clay with flints and tertiary debris overlying chalk (BGS 1947) as was observed on site. Archaeological background The site lies within an area of the Berkshire Downs with relatively few recorded sites or finds (Richards 1978) with typically just a few stray finds of Roman pottery and prehistoric metal and stone tools recorded. However, the site lies adjacent to the projected Roman road from Silchester to Cirencester (Margary 1973) which traverses 1 the Berkshire Downs. Such a location has the potential for archaeological deposits relating to roadside Roman settlement and burial and a relatively large such settlement is recorded at Wickham to the south-east (Richards 1978, 25). It is also possible that the road itself might be located on the site rather than, as expected, following its projected line beneath the modern road. A watching brief to the west at Stroud’s Farm in a similar location to the proposal site failed to locate any Roman deposits (Ford 1996). Objectives and methodology The purpose of the watching brief was to excavate and record any archaeological deposits affected by the new construction work. This was to involve the examination of areas of topsoil stripping, landscaping, ground reduction and the digging of trenches for foundations and services. Results (Figs. 3 and 4) The house Prior to excavation of the footing trenches, this area was stripped of 0.30m of topsoil (50) directly onto 0.20m of a very rooty pale brownish yellow clayey sand (51). The clay and chalk natural was observed below this. The only disturbance of this level observed in the south-west corner of the house plot was the remains of a tree root. Foundation trenches for the house were between 1.30m and 1.90m deep due to the presence of trees in an area of predominantly clay geology. They were 0.6m wide. No finds were recovered from the stripped surface nor the resultant spoil heaps. The garage The footings for the garage varied in depth between 1.90m to the west to 2.40m further east. The topsoil (50) had not been stripped prior to excavation and was 0.30m deep above the natural clay with flint and chalk. No subsoil was present in this area. No archaeology was observed. No finds were recovered. The septic tank and drainage Excavation of the septic tank was monitored down to the level of the natural clay. The area of the tank was 2.3m x 2.3m. Topsoil (50), 0.15m deep, was removed onto 0.05m of subsoil (51). Directly below this was the natural 2 geology. The sewer trench between the house and septic tank was 1m deep and 0.4m wide and revealed a similar stratigraphy. No archaeology was observed and no finds were recovered in either of these two locations. Conclusion The watching brief has variously examined areas stripped of overburden and also deeper trenches dug for the buildings and drainage. No archaeology was observed and no finds were recovered in any of these operations.

  • Historic Landscape Character Areas and Their Special Qualities and Features of Significance
    Historic Landscape Character Areas and their special qualities and features of significance Volume 1 Third Edition March 2016 Wyvern Heritage and Landscape Consultancy Emma Rouse, Wyvern Heritage and Landscape Consultancy www.wyvernheritage.co.uk – [email protected] – 01747 870810 March 2016 – Third Edition Summary The North Wessex Downs AONB is one of the most attractive and fascinating landscapes of England and Wales. Its beauty is the result of many centuries of human influence on the countryside and the daily interaction of people with nature. The history of these outstanding landscapes is fundamental to its present‐day appearance and to the importance which society accords it. If these essential qualities are to be retained in the future, as the countryside continues to evolve, it is vital that the heritage of the AONB is understood and valued by those charged with its care and management, and is enjoyed and celebrated by local communities. The North Wessex Downs is an ancient landscape. The archaeology is immensely rich, with many of its monuments ranking among the most impressive in Europe. However, the past is etched in every facet of the landscape – in the fields and woods, tracks and lanes, villages and hamlets – and plays a major part in defining its present‐day character. Despite the importance of individual archaeological and historic sites, the complex story of the North Wessex Downs cannot be fully appreciated without a complementary awareness of the character of the wider historic landscape, its time depth and settlement evolution. This wider character can be broken down into its constituent parts.

  • Rare Plant Register
    1 BSBI RARE PLANT REGISTER Berkshire & South Oxfordshire V.C. 22 MICHAEL J. CRAWLEY FRS UPDATED APRIL 2005 2 Symbols and conventions The Latin binomial (from Stace, 1997) appears on the left of the first line in bold, followed by the authority in Roman font and the English Name in italics. Names on subsequent lines in Roman font are synonyms (including names that appear in Druce’s (1897) or Bowen’s (1964) Flora of Berkshire that are different from the name of the same species in Stace). At the right hand side of the first line is a set of symbols showing - status (if non-native) - growth form - flowering time - trend in abundance (if any) The status is one of three categories: if the plant arrived in Britain after the last ice age without the direct help of humans it is defined as a native, and there is no symbol in this position. If the archaeological or documentary evidence indicates that a plant was brought to Berkshire intentionally of unintentionally by people, then that species is an alien. The alien species are in two categories ● neophytes ○ archaeophytes Neophytes are aliens that were introduced by people in recent times (post-1500 by convention) and for which we typically have precise dates for their first British and first Berkshire records. Neophytes may be naturalized (forming self-replacing populations) or casual (relying on repeated introduction). Archaeophytes are naturalized aliens that were carried about by people in pre-historic times, either intentionally for their utility, or unintentionally as contaminants of crop seeds. Archaeophytes were typically classified as natives in older floras.
