The Eton College Rowing Lake, Dorney, South Buckinghamshire

This evaluation by OAU was carried out between 2nd September and Friday 11th November, and had established the date and character of the cropmarks, but was limited in scale and concentrated on the line of the Rowing Lake itself. The planning permission includes gravel extraction and landscaping in parts of the site outside the line of the Rowing Lake, particularly to the S and the NE. These areas had not been evaluated, and to inform the archaeological excavation programme a further phase of more detailed evaluation was agreed with Buckinghamshire County Council in August 1994.
