Abstract:		 A geophysical survey and an archaeological watching brief was undertaken between Bramley and Basingstoke, Hampshire (NGR: SU 645 602 - 650 527). It was requested by Wardell Armstrong on behalf of their client, Scottish and Southern Energy, who proposed to install an electricity cable between Bramley substation and Basingstoke, a route of approximately 7km. The project aimed to determine if any significant archaeological remains were present and if so to indicate its nature, date and location. The survey identified a scatter of anomalies, interpreted as possible pits and a series of linears within the fields south of the substation. However the results of the subsequent watching brief did not tally with these findings. Three prehistoric features were recorded adjacent to the substation; an early/middle Iron Age pit containing the dumped remains of a kiln superstructure, and two small pits/postholes with extensive inclusions of fire-cracked stone. A medieval ditch, probably a field boundary, and a single undated pit/posthole were observed north of Tudor Farm, along with a late post-medieval/modern furrow or headland south of The Mill House. Three residual worked flints were recovered from the subsoils. A small quantity of residual pottery was recovered, including three Roman pottery sherds, along with post-medieval and modern pottery, all of which are considered to be the result of manuring or casual loss.
