| Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out during groundworks at the site of two new dwellings which incorporated part of an existing Grade II Listed Building. The site lay within the medieval town of Southampton. Previous evaluation had revealed that archaeologically significant deposits survived across the site. Pottery had been recovered which was mainly post-medieval in date, but which included Roman, Saxon and medieval sherds. During the watching brief, three archaeological layers and three features were recorded. The features comprised undated wall footings and a post hole. A prehistoric flint flake was found, and medieval pottery was recovered from two contexts. It was noted that the wall footings did not relate directly to the external layout of the known pre-existing buidings on the site. [Au(adp)] |
