Abstract:		 Border Archaeology was instructed by The Pilgrims’ School Winchester to carry out Archaeological Observation of groundworks in the Quadrangle involving the replacement of an existing turf lawn with an artificial ‘Astroturf’ surface. The area is within Winchester Cathedral Close, a Scheduled Monument (No: SM HA 585, HA 1005520). Scheduled Monument Consent was granted (SMC Ref: S00240479). A series of three or four test pits of approximately 1m square will be opened by hand-excavation within the Quadrangle pitch area prior to any works being commenced so as to ascertain whether the deposits believed to be post-medieval are indeed so.Groundworks depths of circa 10cm are anticipated but with potential of up to 30cm (subject to groundworks contractor confirmation on site) and will be reflected in the depth of test pits. The uppermost context recorded in both TPs was a modern turf deposit composed of stone-free moderately compacted but plastic dark brown silty clay to an average thickness of 0.04m. This contained modern (21st Century) inclusions, such as confectionery wrappers and broken pencils. Underlying the turf in each of the TPs was a modern made ground deposit consisting of firm dark grey brown sandy clay extending to an unknown depth below the level of engineering impact. This contained occasional to moderate inclusions of slate, CBM, Fe, bottle glass, bone, pottery and modern geotextile material, together with moderate natural flint inclusions. No further deposits were seen during observation of the turf-stripping.
