Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Lewis Investment to carry out an archaeological evaluation on land at Sunley House, St George's Street, Winchester, Hampshire. Planning consent has been granted by Winchester City Council (ref. 16/01556/FUL) for redevelopment works at the site. Winchester City Council recommended that an archaeological evaluation should be undertaken prior to the development of the site A single trench was machine excavated at the approximate location of one of the steel support columns to be installed during the redevelopment of the Site and revealed a large pit cutting into natural gravels. The pit edges were only observed following the partial removal of some of the fill which contained four sherds of pottery dating to Romano-British period including a rim sherd from a dish in New Forest colour coated ware dated as late 3rd or 4th century AD. However, the small quantity of sherds cannot be taken as firm dating evidence for the pit, given the widespread residually of Romano-British material in later contexts encountered within the city. It is clear though that despite extensive truncation undertaken at the site in the 1960s archaeological remains survive just 0.40m below the current concrete slab. |
