Abstract: |
On the 12th and 24th June 2019 Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook continuous archaeological monitoring and recording on behalf of T A Fisher in advance of construction of five, 2 storey dwellings with associated access, parking and landscaping Land To The Rear Of Acorn House, Elms Road, Hook, Hampshire (NGR 472463 154305) (Fig. 1). Elements of the groundworks had already begun including the topsoil strip of the dwelling plots, with a reduction of the level of plot 2, as well as piling and raft formation for the dwelling plots. In light of this, and following discussions with the County Council Specialist Environmental Services (HCC/SES), it was decided that monitoring would take place on the remaining groundworks with sample sections being taken where possible as mitigation. Two phases of activity were identified which were represented by layers. The first phase is likely of late post-medieval date and is represented by made ground 1003 which relates to the levelling of the site for possible construction during this period. The construction of Hook railway station in 1883 prompted a period of significant growth of the town as it became a commuting link to Basingstoke and, soon-after, London (Hook Parish Council website). The second phase relates to the modern paving currently present on the site which is represented by made ground layer 1002, bedding layer 1001, and the paving blocks (1000). |
