Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by The London Borough of Southwick Pension Fund to carry out an archaeological watching brief within the former 'Next' department store at 9-11 High Street, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23 9JX centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) 448330 129383. Planning consent (Planning Ref.16/01646/FUL) has been granted for the demolition and replacement of the existing facades on both the High Street and Market Lane frontages and the change of use of the second floor from retail and erection of 3rd floor to create 7 duplex residential apartments. The watching was to monitor exploratory test pits to investigate the existing foundations of the current building. Eight test pits of varying sizes were monitored during the watching brief and revealed the remains of a possible building composed of chalk rammed floor and a flint nodule constructed wall as well as the possible course of the Temple Ditch - a substantial drainage channel first recorded in 1349 which marked the northern boundary of the Cathedral cemetery and also possibly the original northern boundary of the New Minster precinct. The programme of works also identified that the construction of the existing building had resulted in considerable localised disturbance at the location of the concrete foundations for walls and support pillars. The watching brief took place between 18th and 25th July 2017 Eight test pits of varying sizes were monitored during the watching brief and revealed the remains of a possible building composed of chalk rammed floor and a flint nodule constructed wall as well as the possible course of the Temple Ditch – a substantial drainage channel first recorded in 1349 which marked the northern boundary of the Cathedral cemetery and also possibly the original northern boundary of the New Minster precinct.Two Boreholes were drilled into the bases of Pits. Both cores had distinct organic rich layers withinthe alluvial deposits.The programme of works also identified that the construction of the existing building had resulted inconsiderable localised disturbance at the location of the concrete foundations for walls and support pillars.
