CIPPENHAM, SLOUGH

The OAU carried out a field evaluation on land to the S of Cippenham, Slough on behalf of Eton College. Four areas of significant archaeological activity were identified: a Neolithic pit, an area of Middle Bronze Age occupation, an area of prehistoric/Roman occupation and an undated area of settlement. In addition a light scatter of largely undated features suggestive of a low intensity of activity was found across the site. The large number of clay pipe fragments recovered from a ditch in trench 26 suggests that a kiln site is close by.
