Abstract: |
An archaeological Watching Brief was undertaken between 26th and 27th January 2009 by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd on the construction of a refuse and cycle store on land at North Meadow, Royal Clarence Yard, Gosport, Hampshire. The works consisted of the monitoring of ground reduction and the excavation of foundation and service trenches for the new stores across the area. Excavation of the perimeter foundation trench and ground reduction in the southeast corner of the area revealed several phases of masonry remains and ground raising. Investigation of naturally occurring deposits was not possible due to the relatively high impact height and unpiled nature of the proposed structure foundations. Foundations of the two storey Police Section House that was built in 1858 were revealed. This was subsequently demolished following bomb damage sustained in WWII and later covered over to form the modern day car park surface. |
