Abstract: |
A total of 23 evaluation trenches were excavated by machine. The evaluation had revealed evidence of the possible alignment of the Roman road from London to Chichester Stane Street. The make up of this 'road' appeared to be composed of successive layers of manganese, with flint and other stone inclusions. There was the possibility that ditches which ran close to the edge of this surface were the roadside ditches. One gully of possible prehistoric date in the southern area of the site was also revealed. Four geoarchaeological test pits were also excavated within the development area in order to ascertain the extent of and also the palaeoenvironmental and archaeological potential of the alluvial sediments in the vicinity of Parbrook stream. This pitting revealed evidence for a localised intermittently flooded palaeoenvironmental and suggested that there was the potential for the preservation of organic artefacts, although no such artefacts were found.
