| Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out during the installation of playground swings at a site which lay within a Local Area of Archaeological Importance, and was situated on the opposite shore to an area of known archaeological significance on the west bank of the River Itchen. A Mesolithic flint-working site, a Roman settlement and a medieval priory had been recorded on the western bank, and it was considered possible that evidence of human activity associated with them could exist on the Cobden Meadows side of the river. During the watching brief, modern make-up deposits and topsoil were observed; no natural deposits were exposed. [AIP] |
