Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by the Trustees of the Benge Estate to undertake a magnetometer survey over land off Wickham Road, Fareham, ahead of proposed development. The entire site comprised of some 138.7ha, which was first covered by recorded scanning survey, before 35ha were selected to be covered in detail. A number of anomalies of definite and probable archaeological interest have been identified; the larger of these are consistent witht he extraction of chalk and other materials over the past few centuries at least. In addition much earlier remains have been uncovered including a possible long barrow with associated pits. Possible former tracks, ditches and trends consistent with agricultural ploughing, both modern and earlier, can be seen across the surve area. Several regions of increased response and magnetic disturbance are probably related to agricultural activities associated with the modern farm and business estate.
