Abstract: |
John Moore Heritage Services carried out an archaeological recording action at Weybrook Park Golf Club, Rooksdown Lane, Basingstoke. An Early Bronze Age ring-ditch with two cremation burials in the central area and a possible penannular enclosure were revealed in the south corner of the site. A further possible ring-ditch is located north-west of these features. A series of ditches oriented north-west to south-east close to the south-west extent of the site was also revealed; the ditches appeared to align both with a known Roman ditch and a linear feature identified by crop marks. A natural valley orientated south-west to north-east runs across the west of the site and a concentration of undated large pits and ditches were identified on its north-western slope. Some of the ditches seemed to form the outline of possible enclosures or field boundaries. A number of further undated pits and ditches were revealed in the south-west extent of the site. A large Bronze Age ditch, located in an area where an Iron Age banjo enclosure has been observed from aerial photograph, was encountered in the easternmost limit of the site. Two further ditches in the area of the banjo enclosure were identified, one containing Roman and Bronze Age pottery and the other undated. A long undated ditch was identified along the east of the site orientated north-east to south-west and along with two further ditches may have formed a later enclosure. |
