Abstract:
An archaeological evaluation and excavation was undertaken on land at Old Kempshott Lane, Worting, Basingstoke. Flint scatters were found across the site, indicating low-key use throughout the early Holocene. Intensive exploitation did not occur until the Iron Age, when the site seemingly functioned as farmland. Indirect evidence of cereal cultivation and animal husbandry was found, in the form of grain storage features and a banjo-enclosure. Some features also contained dumped debris indicative of near-by habitation. An early Roman enclosure was also found, suggesting occupation continued into the Roman period. A possible boundary ditch or roadside ditch of similar date was also unearthed. It is possible that some form of hiatus in occupation took place between the late 1st century / early 2nd century and the late 3rd / 4th century. Later Roman activity was represented by a small rubbish pit and a large circular feature. The latter was partially backfilled before a solitary grave was created in the centre.
