Ancient Trackway in Berkshire
The multi-period site of Anslow's Cottages revealed traces of occupation dated from Bronze Age to medieval period. The earliest feature, 1091, is interpreted as remains of a Bronze Age trackway originally leading to the river channel.
The other prehistoric features are 873 (alignment of the post-holes, also Bronze Age) and remains of several Bronze Age ditches. The later evidence includes remains of mid-Saxon post settings and late Saxon wicker basket dated for 1060 AD.
