Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out during groundworks for the construction of a wall around an electricity sub-station. The site lay immediately to the east of Polymond Tower at the north-east corner of the medieval walls of Southampton. Previous archaeological work in the vicinity had revealed evidence of Iron Age, late Saxon and medieval activity on the berm between the town walls and the ditch. During the watching brief, a limestone wall which lay along the line of a wall marked on a map dating from 1846 was recorded. Several post-medieval layers and two undated layers were also observed. All of the artefacts found were of late post-medieval and modern date. It was noted that modern disturbance of the site seemed neither extensive nor deep, and that archaeological deposits could perhaps have survived below the levels reached by the excavations. [AIP] |
