Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Armour Heritage on behalf of Beaulieu Properties LLP, to undertake an archaeological field evaluation on land at the Waterfront site, Mumby Road, Gosport, Hampshire, centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) 462030 100040. The work comprised the machined excavation of three trial trenches, incorporating three geoarchaeological test pits, excavated under archaeological conditions. A ditch, gully and wall footings were recorded in the trenches and relate to post-medieval or later activity within the site. No artefacts were recovered from the fills of the ditch and gully recorded in Trench 2, however, the presence of eroded brick flecking noted within these deposits is suggestive of a post-medieval date. All of the five wall footings recorded within the trenches were constructed post-1824, and the location and alignment of the structures appears to correspond to the buildings recorded on the 1898 Ordnance Survey mapping. A similar deposit model was recorded in all three test pits, and comprised unbedded and mixed upper gravel deposits, lenses of sand indicative of fluvial deposition, and weakly bedded gravels. There was no indication of stand-still phases, land surfaces, or other layers with archaeological or palaeoenvironmental potential. |
