Introduction

Archaeological evaluation at the Crown Inn, 73-75 Shirley High Street, Southampton. (SOU1676)

Southampton City Council Archaeology Unit carried out an archaeological evaluation on land to the rear of the Crown Inn at 73-75 Shirley High Street, Southampton in advance of development, in order to ascertain if archaeological deposits survived on the site.

The natural was mixed clay and gravel of the Wittering Beds, overlain by a truncated layer of soil which contained only burnt flints. The soil was probably the surface of Shirley Common which covered the area until it was developed in the mid-19th century, and the burnt flint might be prehistoric in date. A shallow quarry pit pre-dated the mid-19th century Crown Inn but two small ditches and a posthole dated to after its construction. Drains and services had caused some disturbance.

No finds were retained, the archive consists of the site records.
