Kingsdown Gallops, Upper Lambourn, West Berkshire

In April and June 2002 Oxford Archaeology (OA) carried out an archaeological watching brief at Kingsdown Gallops, Upper Lambourn, West Berkshire (NGR SU 3025 8120). The work was commissioned by Mountgrange Farms and Stables Ltd in advance of the construction of gallops and associated drainage. The watching brief revealed two archaeological features, a posthole and a late Neolithic pit. Also Roman pottery from farming activity was recovered from the alluvium layer on the valley floor at the south end of the site.
During the second watching brief an isolated burial of possible Roman date was revealed.
