Abstract
Excavations of an Early Iron Age building and Romano-British enclosure at Brighton Hill South, Hampshire
Duncan Coe
Rachel Newman
5 - 26
Excavations of Site X/Y at Brighton Hill South, near Basingstoke, revealed remains of Iron Age and Romano-British date, adding to the results of earlier investigations in the area. The ceramics are analysed and discussed in some detail by E L Morris in `The pottery' (13--23).
Some exotic discoveries at Silkstead Sandpit, Otterbourne, and the possible site of an ancient temple
Geoffrey Denford
27 - 54
The stray finds from Silkstead Sandpit are described and the history of each, as far as it is known, is discussed. A number of items are exotics from the Mediterranean world and are unlikely to have been imported in antiquity. While the site may have been salted in the eighteenth century, the majority of finds are consistent with a Hampshire context. The suggestion is made that workings at the sandpit destroyed an archaeological site, perhaps that of an Iron Age and Romano-British temple. The finds include a Cypriot red-ware vessel, Early Bronze Age beakers, a Middle Bronze Age palstave and spearhead, an Iron Age bronze bridle-bit, two iron spearheads, iron nails, a Romano-British bronze head of a girl, a Late Roman bronze `dolphin' buckle, a bronze stud, Roman coins including two hoards and a seventeenth or eighteenth century portrait medallion of Julius Caesar. There are specialist contributions on `Mediterranean glass vessels' by (48--51).
Excavation of an Iron Age and Romano-British settlement site at Oakridge, Basingstoke, Hampshire, 1965--6
Mary Oliver
55 - 94
The site of Oakridge was discovered during the building of a housing estate in 1965. Observations and some excavation over two years revealed a large site with pits, enclosure ditches, field boundaries and a well, completely excavated to 27m. Finds suggest occupation of the site, possibly continuous, from the Early/Middle Iron Age to the 4th century AD. There are specialist reports on stone by F W Anderson (88).
Fieldwork at Field Lawn, Buriton, Hampshire
Elizabeth Brisay, des
95 - 105
Fieldwork on the Upper Greensand shelf below the South Downs escarpment has revealed a Roman site. Finds of military equipment and the presence of earthworks suggest the possibility of a Roman military establishment. Fragments of imported marble and stone from the Mediterranean indicate an early and relatively luxurious Roman building. There is also evidence of prehistoric and pagan Saxon occupation.

Edward Roberts
107
Recent restoration of Manor Farm, Michelmersh, near Romsey, has revealed a fourteenth-century solar range virtually intact and the fragmentary remains of two other medieval buildings. These were part of a mansion, or large country residence, belonging to the the cathedral priory of St Swithun, Winchester.
A gun-flint industry at Martins Clump, Over Wallop, Hampshire
Martin J F Fowler
135 - 142
Gun-flint knappers of the 17th century or later exploited the flints used in the construction of an Iron Age linear feature. Debris resulting from their activities was recovered during excavation of the feature, described and subjected to quantitative analysis.
