Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Rownhams Promotions Limited to undertake a detailed gradiometer survey of land at Fields Farm, Rownham, Hampshire (centred on NGR 438870, 116850). The aim of the work was to establish the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features on the site as part of a programme of archaeological works ahead of proposed residential development at the Site. The site is located on the eastern edge of the village of Rownhams, 3km south of the centre of North Baddesley and 5.8km northwest of the centre of Southampton. The site lies on a shallow, easterly sloping incline and comprises one field under pasture located to the east of Fields Farm, one arable field north of Bakers Drove and a small paddock in between the two. Detailed gradiometer survey was undertaken over all accessible parts of the site, a total of 5.2ha. The southern portion of the survey area was unable to be surveyed, being covered by a mature wood. The geophysical survey has demonstrated the presence of a few anomalies of possible archaeological significance and numerous trends of uncertain, possibly agricultural, origin. Several spreads of superficial geology, ploughing trends and a large modern service run centrally through the site. The survey was undertaken between the 8th and 9th December 2014. |
