Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Hampshire County Council to undertake a programme of archaeological trial trenching within a parcel of land of land at the Hangers East area at Daedalus Airfield, Lee-on-Solent. The evaluation was intended to consist of 17 trenches however, due to the presence of heavy modern disturbance and demolition material containing hazardous material, only 14 trenches were opened. In the majority of the excavated trenches, no evidence of archaeological remains or finds were identified, although three archaeological features were identified and investigated within Trench 30 (a pit containing post-medieval artefacts), Trench 31 (small undated pit) and Trench 41 (a shallow undated field boundary ditch containing burnt flint and animal bone). The presence of post-medieval and potentially late prehistoric features, albeit of low density, is similar to the results of excavation at the CEMAST site, which lies to the south of the site and contained some evidence of prehistoric field systems, possible Late Bronze Age settlement activity and scattered medieval pits. This evidence from this evaluation suggests that the focus of the archaeological activity identified to the south appears to extend into the Phase 1C area, although the overall density of activity within the Phase 1C site is far lower than that to the south. |
