Excavations at Duffield House, Woodley, Berkshire

Excavations by the Oxford Archaeological Unit on the site of a proposed development in the grounds of Duffield
House, Woodley, Berkshire, revealed a small area of Bronze Age activity. This comprised a spread of burnt flint
with associated gullies and pits that probably related to a settlement in the near vicinity. Post-medieval field
boundaries were also uncovered in addition to further evidence of recent landscaping, resulting from the construction
of the railway to the west and to the building of Duffield House itself.
