Digital Data from an Evaluation at the site of the A355 Beaconsfield Eastern Relief Road, 2017

This collection comprises reports, images, spreadsheets, CAD, and site records from evaluation at the site of the A355 Beaconsfield Eastern Relief Road undertaken by Oxford Archaeology (South) in 2017. A total of fifty four trenches 25m long and 1.9m wide were excavated, according to the layout in the Written Scheme of Investigations approved by P Markham of BCC. Seventeen of the trenches proved to be devoid of archaeology. The ring ditch suggested by the geophysical survey was investigated by Trench 10, but proved to be a large pit of late postmedieval date. One flint knife was recovered from a gully in Trench 3 and another from a pit in Trench 25. Archaeological features were more distinct, and more numerous, in the central and southern part of the site, and here concentrations of struck flints and Roman pottery were found.
