Abstract: |
The evaluation fieldwork comprised the excavation of 26 trenches of a planned 27 trenches, each of the planned trenches being 30m long by 2m wide. The trenches were located to provide a representative sample of the site. One trench was not able to be excavated due to the possible presence of underground services. A number of other trenches were also shorted or moved due to constraints on site such as underground services or internal divisions. Trenches were set out on OS National Grid co-ordinates using Leica GPS. Overburden was stripped from the trenches by a mechanical excavator fitted with a toothless grading bucket. All machining was conducted under archaeological supervision to the top of the natural substrate, which was the level at which archaeological features were first encountered. In July 2021, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological
evaluation at Hamblewood, Heath House Lane, Hedge End,
Southampton. A total of 26 trenches of a planned 27 trenches were
excavated.
The evaluation identified low to moderate archaeological activity on
the site, largely represented by ditches associated with former field
systems. Of the features uncovered only a small number could be
excavated and securely dated because of flooding on site. Most of
the features identified on site relate to the medieval and postmedieval
period, with only residual prehistoric and Roman material
recovered in the features excavated.
Despite the site’s proximity to the former Roman road between
Bitterne and Chichester, no securely dated Roman features were
identified. |
