Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out during groundworks for a housing development, at a site which lay within a Local Area of Archaeological Importance. A Mesolithic flint-knapping site had been found in the vicinity, and Roman features had been recorded at two nearby sites. The main buildings of the medieval priory of St Denys had lain 100m to the north-east. During the watching brief, a post-medieval ditch, an undated feature and a feature containing four sherds of Roman pottery and three fragments of Roman tile were recorded. Residual Roman artefacts, two worked flints and a sherd of 18th or 19th century pottery were also recovered. It was concluded that, taken in conjunction with the results from nearby observations, the results of the watching brief indicated that the site was likely to have lain within the area of a Roman settlement, perhaps focused on a Roman road running down to ford the Itchen opposite the known town site at Bitterne Manor.
