More DescriptionThe prime interest of this rescue excavation on a Kennet Valley development site on the outskirts of Reading is the Late Bronze Age settlement evidence: semi-circular segmented buildings, four and six post structures, two post supports; paired houses in lines, open space, activity and storage areas; flax retting pits flanking a trackway; associated field systems.
