Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Radian Group - Eastleigh to carry out an archaeological evaluation on land at 13 Gilbury Close, Swaythling, Southampton, Hampshire (NGR 483834 105348). The fieldwork was carried out on the 6th, 8th and 13th of July 2016. An archaeological watching brief was carried out on the 8th of July whilst the concrete slabs covering the site were broken out. A total of two trial trenches were excavated, a 5% sample of the proposed development area, in order to investigate the archaeological potential of the site. Trench 1 was targeted on a potential outbuilding of a post-medieval farm complex identified through maps of the area, although no evidence for this feature was identified.
No archaeological features or deposits were identified.
