Abstract:		 In June and August 2008, Oxford Archaeology carried out an extended watching brief including a small area excavation at Bray House, Worthy Down Camp near Winchester (NGR SU 482 358). The work involved monitoring topsoil stripping and the excavation of service trenches by contractors, prior to the construction of offices and store buildings, dining facilities, barns and toilet blocks at this army camp. South of Bray House natural chalk and former topsoil/ground levelling deposits were revealed in service trenches and the excavations for a new water tank. On the north side of Bray House, a small group of archaeological Features were exposed on a slight incline leading down to an area where new building were being constructed. The features comprised two pits, three post holes and a likely tree throw with a possible post hole at one edge. Several of the features contained pottery of late Bronze Age to early Iron Agedate and it is likely that all the features were contemporaneous. three postholes situated in close proximity may have formed part of a structure that extended outside the area available for investigation. Given the size of the site, a noteable number of flints were recovered. The flints represent knapping debitage and in terms of technological traits have been dated to the late Bronze Age and possible earlly Iron Age, when taken in conjunction with the pottery evidence. Limited animal bone evidence suggests the presence on the site of young and adult cattle. Overall this small site suggests an area of settlement activity, possibly part of a small farmstead, with the focus of human occupation likely to have been nearby. This document presents an assessment of features and finds from the site and a proposal for publication of the results an an appropriate local journal.
