Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Persimmon Homes to carry out an archaeological watching brief on Land at the junction of Little Knowl Hill and Ashford Hill Road, Ashford Hill, Hampshire, centred on National Grid Reference 455455 161850. A planning application (ref.15/01224/FUL) has been approved by Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council for the residential development of the site. One of the conditions attached to the consent included the requirement for an archaeological watching brief. A miscommunication unfortunately meant that most of the Site had been stripped without archaeological supervision. However, a programme of works was set in place whereby the on-going below ground works, including 190 m of cable trench, were monitored along with a ten trench evaluation which ensured that c.4 % of the 3 hectare site has been confidently monitored with only modern features (land drains and tractor ruts) identified, whereupon the Planning Archaeologist for Hampshire County Council agreed that the monitoring could cease. The fieldwork completed over a five-day period 19th - 23rd February 2018. |
