New Fish and Wildlife Bypass Channel, Aborfield, Berkshire

Between October 2010 and January 2011 Oxford Archaeology undertook a watching
brief on the River Loddon near Aborfield Berkshire (centred at SU 7465 6799). The
work was commissioned by the Environment Agency during the construction of a
new fish and wildlife channel. The watching brief observed evidence for an earlier
river channel and modern dredging of the river. No evidence for any earlier form of
water management was encountered.
