Hurley Lock lsland Hurley Berkshire

Oxford Archaeology (OA) carried out a field evalualion at Hurley Lock Island for Herbert J. Stribling & Partners on behalf of the Environment Agency (EÀ). The evaluation revealed extensive made ground in all three trenches with the addition oÍ the partial remains qf a possible late l9th
century single coarse wall in Trench 3. These consecutive episodes of dumping have raised this area of the island to the present ground level and may represent a period of land reclaimation contemporary with the construction the lock.
