Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by HAB Housing to undertake a detailed gradiometer survey of land west of Lovedon Lane, Kings Worthy, Hampshire (centred on NGR 449525, 132950). The aim of the work was to establish the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features on the site as part of a programme of archaeological works ahead of proposed development at the Site. The site is located approximately 4km north of the centre of Winchester and 7.2km southeast of Sutton Scotney. The site comprises one arable field and one levelled playing field located to the west of Lovedon Lane. The arable field forms the base of a shallowly inclined valley between the two villages of Kings Worthy and Abbots Worthy. Detailed gradiometer survey was undertaken over all accessible parts of the site, a total of 7.7ha, and has demonstrated the presence of anomalies of probable and possible archaeological significance along with several spreads of superficial geology and at least one former field boundary. The main concentration of archaeological features was located in the southern half of the survey area where a number of possible ditches were detected. Five modern services were detected running through the survey areas that were associated with higher concentrations of ferrous anomalies. The survey was undertaken between 24th and 26th November 2014. |
