Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs Consulting to undertake an archaeological watching brief during groundworks, in particular the installation of foul sewage and ground water drainage, associated with the development of Land at Former Ford Site, North West Side of Wide Lane, Southampton SO18 2HJ, centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) 444370 116400 within the south-east corner of the site. Planning permission had been granted by Southampton City Council for redevelopment of the site to provide a new car sales and showroom facility with associated landscaping, car parking and vehicle display areas, including a part change of use of existing hard-standing and car parking areas associated with the former Ford factory. The new development will have access onto Wide Lane. Approximately 100 m of trenching (between 1.2 m and 1.6 m wide) for the installation of foul drains and storm water drains was archaeologically monitored, as were four manhole installation trenches (approximately 2.5 m by 2.5 m in size). The excavation took place with a toothless trenching bucket under constant archaeological supervision and periodically the excavation ceased at the request of the monitoring archaeologist to allow investigation of the exposed deposits. The drainage trench was excavated to a depth of between 1.30 m and 1.90 m below present ground level. The remains of a World War II Anderson shelter was identified in the extreme south-east corner of the site, the sixth to be discovered during recent works along Wide Lane. No further archaeological features or finds were identified. |
