Introduction
An archaeological investigation was undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group on behalf of Lovell Partnership Ltd in July 2012 at the site of Laxton Close, Sholing, Southampton. The archaeological investigation consisted of an eight trench evaluation. During the course of the evaluation multiple undated ditch features and a single late post-medieval or modern posthole were encountered in the eastern area of the site, cut into the subsoil horizon. The subsoil overlay natural sandy clay gravel. These features are interpreted as being of low to moderate significance due to their concentration, although the lack of dating evidence recovered from the ditches prevents greater significance being attributed to them. A phase of modern horizontal truncation was identified as having occurred in the northern area of the site. The results of the evaluation will be summarised for inclusion in the Hampshire Archaeology Round-up and published via the Archaeological Data Service (ADS) website. The archive will be deposited at Southampton Museums Service, Southampton.
The physical archive has been deposited at Southampton City Museum with the accession/site code SOU1591.
