Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by English Heritage to undertake an archaeological watching brief during replacement of a timber fence and gates at Wolvesey Palace. The Palace is a scheduled monument (National Heritage List for England (NHLE) no. 1005535) in Winchester, Hampshire, centred on NGR 448458 129080. The watching brief was required as a condition of the Scheduled Monument Consent (S00167750). It monitored the removal and replacement of a section of timber fence and two gates located to the east and north of the 17th century baroque west wing of the palace. The fence posts were removed by hand and were replaced with like-for-like posts in the same locations. If necessary, the postholes were slightly enlarged in order to fit the new posts. Additionally, a series of shallower holes were excavated next to each fence panel to fit supporting posts.The removed fence posts were of limited diameter and depth (0.50-0.80 m) and as such provided very limited visibility of the underlying stratigraphy. The majority of postholes revealed topsoil overlying concrete that was used to bed the removed posts. The deeper holes revealed made ground that forms the bank on which the fence is situated. The few artefacts recovered during the watching brief consists primarily of CBM ranging from medieval to post-medieval/modern within the topsoil. This provides further evidence for building activity on site from the medieval period onwards, but cannot be related to discrete features. The few shards of pottery recovered were also from the topsoil context and likely redeposited. A 1959 1 cent coin recovered from post hole 5 may have been dropped by a tourist during the initial construction of the fence.
