Abstract:		 BUARC, Bournemouth University’s archaeological consultancy, has been commissioned by Crestland Homes Ltd to produce a Desk Based Assessment (DBA) and Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) for an archaeological evaluation in advance of a proposed housing development on the former Dairy Crest site at 488-496 Portsmouth Road, Sholing, Southampton. Both the Hampshire Archaeology and Historic Building Record and Southampton City Council Historic Environment Record were consulted for the DBA along with historic mapping in order to produce an assessment of the archaeological potential of the site. Finds of prehistoric flint tools have been recovered during quarrying in the area of Sholing in general and archaeological fieldwork has yielded evidence of Roman activity within 800m of the site. During the medieval period Netley Abbey was founded near to the coast to the SW of the site but no associated activity can be attributed to the area around site itself. The site became part of Netley Common during the post medieval period. In addition it is likely the site was close to if not part of the land used by the military during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars and Second World War. A semi-detached house was built on the NW corner of the site in the late 19th century and towards the middle of the 20th century a dairy was established on the site which ultimately became a Dairycrest distribution depot. The Victorian building along with the former Dairycrest buildings have now all been demolished as part of this redevelopment scheme. To establish a better understanding of the archaeological potential of the site and the impact of the proposed development a trial trench evaluation has been recommended to be undertaken prior to the development commencing. This document provides a WSI for a stage of archaeological work comprising trial trench evaluation, and will form the basis of monitoring for the fieldwork and post-fieldwork stages of this project. If archaeological deposits and features are found to exist on the site the results of the project can then be used to devise a programme of archaeological mitigation.
