Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by RHA Architects Limited, on behalf of their clients The Daughters of Wisdom, to undertake a watching brief on land at Abbey House, La Sagesse Convent, Romsey, centred on National Grid Reference 435073 121077. The proposed development includes the partial demolition of the existing buildings and the construction of new convent buildings within a similar footprint. The Site lies immediately adjacent to the nationally important Upper Palaeolithic site of la Sagesse, excavated in 2002 (Conneller and Ellis 2007). Worked Mesolithic finds have also been found close to the Site, some from the 2002 excavations. These finds indicate the potential for significant early prehistoric activity in this area. No archaeological features were encountered during the monitoring of the excavations for the culvert or the footings for the new building. Alluvial deposits were recorded at the base of trench 3 at its south western end, which may indicate the possible route of a palaeochannel proposed to run into the Site from the north.
