Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was conducted during the construction of a new administration building (TRO 602) at Travers Barracks, Aldershot Military town, Hampshire (NGR 486974, 151808) on behalf of Rydon Construction Ltd. The work was part of project Allenby/Connaught, a long term initiative to redevelop the built estate at Military installations in Hampshire and Wiltshire. The observations included in this report were made during preliminary ground works on the site which included the excavation of strip footings for an office building, and the grading of an area that is going to be a car park. The former military buildings and landscaping of the site has heavily impacted upon the archaeological potential of the area observed in the watching brief. Made ground and modern material was present across all areas of the site, which directly sealed natural geological deposits. It would appear that the original ground surface has been comprehensively removed during the previous landscaping of the site, as no buried topsoil or subsoil horizons were present. It is possible that the natural geological deposits have also suffered truncation, the extent of which is unknown, but it is likely to be greater in the southern area where a greater degree of terracing was evident. No archaeological remains or features were identified that were not of modern date, and the archaeological potential of the site is very limited. The only interesting results of the watching brief relate to the geological formation processes of the floodplain, observed in the strip footings in the Northern Area.
