Abstract:
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology during groundwork associated with the development of 14 dwellings and associated works at Andover Tennis Club, Brackenbury, Andover, Hampshire. The watching brief has confirmed the low level of possible later prehistoric/Romano-British activity in the north-western corner of the site. A parallel ditch and possible hollow way were uncovered during the groundwork, which each corresponded to features uncovered during the trial trench evaluation of the site. The hollow way appears to follow the same alignment of the Portway, a Roman road that joins Old Sarum to Silchester. No artefacts were recovered from the fills of these features and consequently it is not possible to date either feature definitively to the later prehistoric and/or Roman period, however, they may represent features associated with the road or an earlier precursor to it. For example the ancient Neolithic trackway, known as the Harroway crossed the prehistoric landscape a few hundred metres to the north of the site and it is known that that the current A303 follows the alignment of part this prehistoric route and a subsequent route that stretched as far as Wales known as the Gold road. These ancient routes aided trade across tribal boundaries in the later prehistoric periods.
