Abstract: |
The evaluation fieldwork comprised the excavation of 19 trenches. The WSI proposed for 21 trenches, each measuring 30m by 1.8m and located to provide a representative sample of the site. Due to the presence of numerous spoil heaps and other site constraints, all trenches required repositioning, realignment and, in several cases, shortening. Trenches 14, 15 and 17 were not excavated due to the presence of potentially asbestos-containing dumped material, with Trench 16 terminating within the topsoil upon encountering similar material. An additional trench, Trench 22, was excavated to increase the overall meterage excavated and to meet the representative sample discussed in the WSI as several trenches were reduced in length due to above constraints. The 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 September 2021, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation of land at Rivercross Phase 2, Brook Lane, Warsash, Hampshire. A total of 19 trenches were excavated. Archaeological features were recorded in 12 trenches. A total of 21 worked lithics were recovered from the site, with potentially stratified flints dating to prehistoric period recovered from ditch 2003 and Mesolithic/Early Neolithic period from ditch 2103. The remaining archaeological features consisted of ditches and postholes, representing probable field boundaries and internal field divides. The majority of the features remained undated with two ditches dating to the post medieval/modern and modern periods. |
