Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Cedar Services Ltd to undertake an archaeological evaluation on land at Winton Court, Andover, Hampshire. This work was required to meet a condition imposed by the Hampshire County Archaeologist as inhumation burials have been recorded from the immediate vicinity. Four archaeological evaluation trenches were positioned within areas that lay outside the footprint of a former building on the site. These trenches were intended to establish the presence/absence of undisturbed inhumation burials and to evaluate any previously unrecorded archaeological deposits. The results of the work have shown that much, if not all the land on the western side of the Site was stripped of overburden during post-medieval development. The evaluation trenches in the east of the plot were apparently positioned across the back gardens of the properties fronting onto Winchester Road, possibly straddling the tenement boundaries themselves. These trenches produced a series of ditches, pits and post holes, all apparently of post-medieval date. The archaeological evaluation provided a relatively comprehensive cover of the areas outside the area of the former building. The results suggest that the area is now likely to be archaeologically sterile and that there remains only a slight probability that additional inhumation burials survive on the site. |
