Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Lewis Investment to carry out an archaeological watching brief on land at Sunley House, St George's Street, Winchester, Hampshire, centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) 448030 129570. Planning consent has been granted by Winchester City Council (WCC) (ref. 16/01556/FUL) for works to internally combine units 2 and 4 of the existing property within the Site, change of use to restaurant (Use Class A3), single storey extension to the rear at ground floor level, alterations to the street elevations and erection of an extract flue to the rear of the building. The Historic Environment Officer (Archaeology) at WCC recommended that an archaeological evaluation be conducted and this was undertaken in November 2016, following the results of that work a watching brief was requested to be carried out during additional exploratory works associated with proposed locations of piling. Five test pits were monitored and no archaeological finds, features or deposits were observed. Test Pit 1 revealed disturbed natural chalk geology below the current concrete slab surface while Test Pits 3,4, 5 and 6 revealed concrete footings associated with the eastern party wall to the Site and walls and pillars of the current building. Test Pit 2 was not excavated. The watching brief was undertaken on 28th March and 27th July 2017. |
