Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned to carry out an archaeological trial trench evaluation on land to the north of Fareham, forming part of the New Community North of Fareham (NCNF) area centred on National Grid Reference 457150 109360. This evaluation formed the first stage (Phase I) of a programme of archaeological trenching and comprised the machine-excavation of thirty-two trenches within five fields in the north-western part of the Site. Further trenching (Phase II) will be necessary at a later stage to investigate the archaeological potential of the remainder of the Site and formulate an appropriate archaeological mitigation strategy. This evaluation followed a Desk-Based Assessment and a geophysical survey which had identified a number of potential archaeological features. The trenches were largely targeted on these geophysical anomalies. Within the north-east of the site, an area of Bronze Age and prehistoric activity was located in the vicinity of Trenches 5, 6 and 10. Two pits and a ditch terminus were investigated and although the pit in Trench 5 and the ditch terminus in Trench 6 were not dated, they contained large amounts of burnt flint, which is often an indication of prehistoric activity. Within Trench 10, a small pit containing a large quantity of Middle to Late Bronze Age pottery sherds within a deliberately placed deposit was recorded. The inclusion of deliberate deposits of material within all three of these features suggests a localised area of intense activity, albeit one which might be short-lived in nature. Other features identified during this evaluation primarily relate to modern quarrying and field boundaries, a number of which can be related to features seen on 19th and early 20th century mapping. Natural features were also identified including a large natural hollow in the south-west part of site (Trench 28) and a substantial dry valley to the north of Trench 23.
