Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned to undertake an archaeological evaluation of a 1.5 hectare parcel of land located in Ardglen Road, Whitchurch, Hampshire, RG28 7SZ. The evaluation area is centred on NGR 445963 148546. A planning application (18/00672/RES) submitted to Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council (BDBC), was granted 9th June 2019, subject to conditions. 11 trenches (1 14 x 1.8 m and 10 25 x 1.8 m) representing a 4% sample of the site were excavated. Three of these trenches (1,3 and 6) were reduced in size and moved slightly to avoid on site spoil heaps, the site entrance and the site boundary. No archaeological features or artefacts were found within the trenches. This was despite the nearby presence of Iron Age and Romano-British settlement. The site exhibited variable natural geology with topsoil straight onto chalk in trench 1. All other trenches had a thick layer of colluvium overlying either river terrace gravels or directly on the chalk. These gravels appear to indicate the presence of a former winterbourne running towards the River Test. |
