Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken during the removal of footings associated with the now demolished Keeper's Cottage and the excavation of foundation trenches required fro the new office building. The concrete foundations corresponding to the footprint of the now demolished Keeper’s Cottage were removed with a 30-tonne mechanical excavator using a toothed bucket where necessary under direct archaeological supervision. The foundation trenches for the new office building were excavated using a mechanical excavator equipped with a toothed bucket where required, and otherwise fitted with a toothless ditching bucket. Spoil resulting from the monitored groundworks was visually scanned for the purposes of finds retrieval. No artefacts were present during the works. Despite the potential for the presence of remains associated with the medieval deer park and the late 18th century landscaping of the park, no archaeological finds, features or deposits were uncovered in the area monitored. Indeed, within the western extent of the development area, the site was truncated by the foundations Keeper’s Cottage, with the construction of the residence likely to have removed any archaeological remains should an archaeological footprint have been present. However, it is notable that within the eastern extent of the development area, remnants of a buried garden soil and subsoil survived beneath the car parking surface, indicating the minimal impact of the construction of the car park. As such the lack of archaeological features and deposits within this area is more conclusive of a general lack of traceable early activity. The buried garden soil may pertain to 18th century gardens though no landscaping features were evident within the deposit. Minimal site records have been scanned as a security copy and are held at Wessex Archaeology as agreed with Hampshire Cultural Trust
