Sewage Treatment Works, Reading, Berkshire.

In January/February 2000 OA undertook a watching brief at the New Reading Sewage Treatment Works, Reading, Berks. of 49 geotechnical trial pits were monitored archaeologically. No archaeologically significant deposits were noted in these geotechnical trial pits, but an impression was gained of the depth and survival of alluvium across the site indicating that, although there has been truncation it is possible that archaeological deposits if present could survive both above and below said alluvium.
