Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology were commissioned by PMC Construction and Development Services Ltd to carry out an archaeological evaluation on Land at Blendworth Crescent, Havant, Hampshire centred on National Grid Reference 471405 107345. A planning application (Ref. APP/16/00464) was submitted to Havant Borough Council on behalf of Portsmouth City Council for the proposed redevelopment of the Site. Permission was granted by Havant Borough Council, the Local Planning Authority, on 29th September 2016 subject to a number of conditions which included conditions on archaeological works. The evaluation comprised of the investigation and recording of ten archaeological evaluation trial trenches equivalent to a 4% sample of the site. The evaluation was undertaken to inform the nature and scope of any archaeological mitigation works that may be required in advance of construction associated with the proposed development. The evaluation revealed that the Site was covered by a depth of made ground, over 1.2 m thick in some places. The soil sequence on the site indicates that the site had been mechanically stripped in the past and subsequently built up with layers of redeposited natural clays and gravels. A former boundary ditch associated with a field boundary noted on a 1842 tithe map was identified in two trenches and investigations in one of the trenches revealed modern debris from the ditch. No other archaeological remains were observed during the evaluation. |
