Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology has been commissioned by CgMs Consulting on behalf of Miller Homes to carry out a programme of Archaeological Trial Trenching in advance of residential development centred upon NGR SO 89250 34431. The trial trenching comprised the excavation of eighteen 50m by 2m trenches. The Site was formerly subject to an archaeological Desk-based Assessment which identified a number of undated cropmarks and a WWII military camp within the site boundary. A geophysical survey identified probable WWII military structures and agricultural features dating to the Post-medieval period. No further historical features were identified. No archaeological features were identified during the trial trenching. All of the targeted geophysical anomalies were identified as either land drains or variations in the natural geology. No structural remains for the WWII Nissen Huts were identified which is suggestive that they were built on very ephemeral, possibly timber footings which were removed during demolition in the 1950s. Typical timber construction utilised foundations consisting of 4 × 4 inch (10 × 10 cm) wooden stumps with 15 × 9 inch (38 × 23 cm) sole plates. On these were 4 × 3 inch (10 × 8 cm) bearers and 4 × 2 inch (10 × 5 cm) joists at 2 feet 10 inch (86 cm) centre with a floor made from tongue and groove floorboards. The trial trenching has confirmed that the Site has a low potential for archaeological remains with the proposed development is unlikely to have a negative impact upon the archaeological resource.
