Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by A.G. Lambert and Partners to undertake an archaeological watching brief during the installation of rabbit proof fencing around the southern boundary of Danebury Hillfort, Nether Wallop, Hampshire, centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) 432385 137658. Danebury Hillfort is a Scheduled Monument (SM HA53) and Scheduled Monument Consent (ref SC0009445) was granted by English Heritage (on behalf of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport) on condition an archaeological watching brief was maintained during the groundworks. A watching brief was maintained during the machine excavation of a narrow trench positioned parallel to the southern boundary of the hillfort. The machine excavated trench measured 0.4m wide and on average 0.15m deep and as such, did not extend below the depth of the modern plough soil horizon. The presence of existing rabbit burrows meant it was necessary to increase the depth of the trench in one location. The upper surface of the natural chalk geology was revealed at 0.4m below ground level and exposed evidence of plough scarring. No archaeological features or deposits were identified during the watching brief. Three rolled fragments of burnt flint, one piece of slate, two fragments of modern brick and a length of rope were identified but were not retained. The watching brief was undertaken on 24th October 2011. |
