Somerfield Hungerford

The Oxford Archaeological Unit (OAU) carried out phase 1 of a field evaluation at land to the rear of Somefield Store, Everland Road, Hungerford on behalf of Somerfield Stores Ltd. The evaluation revealed a single feature of possible prehistoric date and layers containing three prehistoric flint flakes and three small and abraded sherds of Romano-British pottery. The pottery is likely to be residual but the flint flakes could indicate that the layer was prehistoric. Structures relating to the 19th century vertical brewery were encountered to the north of the standing brewery building. Made ground deposits of various thickness were present in all trenches.
