Church Lane, Shinfield, Berkshire

In October 1997, the OAU carried out a field evaluation at Shinfield, Church Lane on behalf of Haslams Chartered Surveyors. The evaluation revealed no archaeological features and no evidence for the presence of medieval habitation along the route of Church Lane. A late 18th-early 19th-century boundary ditch associated with the original manor house to the west of the site crossed four of the trenches. Two trenches revealed late 18th-early 19th-century pits and a third contained a modern brick.
