The West Berkshire Historic Environment Record (HER) is the primary index of the physical remains of past human activity in the unitary authority of West Berkshire Council. Limited elements of the West Berkshire HER are available online via the Heritage Gateway, therefore it is not suitable for use in desk-based studies associated with development, planning and land-use changes, and does not meet the requirements of paragraph 194 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2021: 56). Please read the important guidance on the use of the West Berkshire HER data. For these purposes and all other commercial enquiries, please contact the Archaeology team and complete our online HER enquiry form.

Full Description

RESIDUAL POTTERY VARYING IN DATE FROM C. C12TH - C19TH FOUND DURING EVALUATION.

An evaluation took place in 1995 in an area north of the railway and St Michael's Road, Newbury. Pottery dating from the 12th to 15th and 17th to 19th centuries was found, especially within Trench 1, but the medieval pottery was a very small amount within the backfill of other features. It was suggested that the 17th to 18th century activity evidenced by the later pottery may have removed earlier features on the site evidence by the earlier pottery.
