Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was appointed by the Highways Engineering Consultancy (Hampshire County Council (HCC)) to undertake a watching brief during works to replace surface water sewer facilities along The Square, Winchester, centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) 448152 129397. The ground-works associated with the installation of the new sewer facility were expected to expose and impact upon any buried archaeological remains. This provided an opportunity for an assessment to be made of the level of archaeological preservation within the historic urban core of Winchester. The fieldwork was undertaken between 6th July and 31st October 2011. The excavation of the pipe trench revealed a high level of disturbance and truncation through post-medieval and modern activity, with limited archaeological deposits of Roman date below. The natural geology was not exposed during this course of works due to a maximum formation depth of 1.5m below modern ground level. Two sections of Roman wall were discovered, one possibly associated with a building fronting onto a pre-cursor to Great Minster Street, slightly to the east of the modern alignment, and the other within the area designated as belonging to the forum of Venta Belgarum. At the eastern end of the pipe trench, that stretch running along Market Lane, post medieval layers containing redeposited and disarticulated human bone were recorded. These deposits can be associated with the disturbance of the cathedral cemetery which previously occupied this area.
