Abstract:		 Southampton City Council Archaeology Unit carried out an archaeological evaluation at the rear of 12-14 Millbrook Road East, Southampton. There are proposals to build new Container Homes on the site, but there were local stories that an area of concrete on the boundary at the rear was the site of a WWII or Cold War shelter. If this were true it would be an undesignated heritage asset and might need further recording before the development could take place, and possibly compromise the digging of foundations. The plan was to dig three trenches as in Figure 6. In the event the work began with Trench 2 followed by Trench 3, after which the questions were answered and Trench 1 was not excavated. (The evaluation was of limited extent, aimed only at establishing whether an air raid shelter was present. Other parts of the site were not evaluated. Southampton HER) The natural was found to be brickearth. It was cut by a late 19th century garden wall which formed the boundary between the gardens of No 12 and No 14. In the garden of No 12 was a stone-flagged path. In the post-war period concrete was laid to cover the uneven path, and further concrete was laid in the garden of No 14, perhaps as the base of a shed. More recently a children’s play area was laid, and much of the concreted areas were covered in rubber chippings, giving the impression the whole arrangement was of one date. There was no evidence of underground structures.
