Green Lane East, Wanborough

Geophysical survey and evaluation led by D Graham of SyAS. Magnetometry revealed an 8m-wide, north--south oriented, straight, double-ditched linear anomaly, various other anomalies and signs of ridge-and-furrow ploughing. A trench across one of the flanking ditches and extending across half the width of the linear anomaly revealed a raised trackway or ‘agger’, although there was no sign of metalling having been present. Probable Late Iron Age/early Roman pottery recovered from the ditch may date the feature but could be residual. A trench across a number of significant anomalies in the west revealed a deeply buried, shallow pit containing the remains of in-situ burning. Charcoal recovered from the feature was 14C dated to 1210--75 at 95% probability. (459 & 460)
