Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology (WA) was commissioned by English Heritage (South East Region) (the Client), to undertake an archaeological watching brief at Titchfield Abbey, Fareham, Hampshire (hereafter the Site) centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) 453909 106801. The site is a Scheduled Monument (SM no. 26713) comprising the remains of a 13th century medieval monastery converted into a mansion in the 16th century. Ongoing maintenance and improvements at the property was required and comprised the mechanical excavation of a soakaway and drainage trench. The required works were located within a grassed area and a gravel access drive positioned at the front of the gatehouse. Within the footprint for the soakaway and drainage trench, garden soil material was observed throughout. A gully, 4, was exposed within the drainage trench and of post-medieval date. No evidence was found for the dwarf wall for railings as shown in 18th century engravings. |
