Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) to undertake an archaeological trial trench evaluation on land at the proposed Costal Safety Training Hub and Coastguard Rescue Station area, located at Daedalus Airfield, Lee-on-Solent, Hampshire. A number of modern linear features were identified in Trench 47 are probably contemporary with this broad phase of construction and demolition and appear to represent shallow drainage gullies or boundary ditches. The only evidence for earlier archaeological occupation was a single worked flint flake and a small number of residual pottery sherds of Late Bronze Age date from the interface between the subsoil and natural in Trench 47 on the northern edge of the Site. This Late Bronze Age material is likely to be related to activity which has been recorded as surviving within the CEMAST site at the south-eastern edge of the airfield, approximately 800m to the east. However, no evidence was found within the development area for any surviving archaeological features and the results strongly suggests that much of the Site has been significantly truncated by previous modern construction and demolition works, which would have heavily impacted or removed any archaeological features, if present.
