Abstract: |
The fieldwork followed the methodology set out within the WSI. The location of the excavation areas was agreed with Tracy Matthews informed by the results of the archaeological evaluation. Area 1 measured 50m x 50m and focused on evaluation trench 30. Areas 2 and 3 both measured 40m x 40m and focused on trenches 109 and 155 respectively. Within each of the three areas all natural features were examined to confirm their nature. Additionally all discrete archaeological features, including those from the evaluation, were fully (100%) excavated following initial recording to increase the possibility of locating datable materials. An archaeological excavation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in March 2019 in North Whiteley, Fareham, Hants. Three excavation areas targeted a series of pit clusters which had been identified during a previous evaluation. A small number of additional pits were recorded during the excavation. No artefactual dating evidence for these shallow features was recovered. The environmental samples proved to be inconclusive for dating and function, though it did suggest the pits were contemporary. Two of the three areas did however reveal small drainage ditches, with medieval pottery (13th-14th century) recovered from each. All the features recorded are indicative of and likely to have been associated with medieval/post-medieval agricultural activity. |
