Abstract: |
The Archaeology Unit of Southampton City Council carried out an archaeological watching brief on the installation of a toilet for disabled people and a sewage treatment plant at Bastion 4, Hilsea Lines, Scott Road, Hilsea, Portsmouth (fig 1) on behalf of their client, CASEMATES. The works were carried out under scheduled monument consent. The site is a Scheduled Ancient Monument (County Monument No 330) and lies in Area 15 of the Local Areas of Archaeological Importance as defined by Portsmouth City Council. Area 15 covers the area of the Hilsea Lines, a rampart and moat built in the mid-18th century, on the line of earlier but ill-defined defensive works, probably centred on the bridge over Portscreek, which had been built in stone by 1510. The area is defined principally as one of importance for post-medieval archaeology. Work revealed evidence of 19th century brick walls, a sunken brick feature and a possible ditch of uncertain date. |
