Battle Bourne Flood Alleviation Scheme, Old Windsor

Between 10th May and 1st August 2012, Oxford Archaeology carried out an
archaeological watching brief at Battle Bourne Embankment, Old Windsor, Berkshire at the request of the Environment Agency. The work was carried out as a requirement of the Conditions in the Environment Action Plan and Scheduled Monument Consent. The Watching Brief did not reveal any significant archaeological features although a drainage ditch containing 19th century pottery was observed during the excavation of the Battle Bourne flood relief ditch diversion. The remains of a modern soak away were recorded at the bottom of the existing flood relief ditch after vegetation had been cleared away and the sides had been shaped.
