Abstract: |
The evaluation fieldwork comprised the excavation of 20 trenches, each measuring 30m x 1.8m. The trenches were located to provide a 5% representative sample of the remainder of the site. Two trenches have been placed to target linear features of possible archaeological origin identified from cropmark evidence as part of the NMP. The remaining trenches have been located to target areas of proposed impact, which are the footprints of the proposed haul road and the proposed site compound and the location of proposed drains and soakaway pits. In February and March 2023 Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation at Bilcombes Field, Fawley, New Forest. A total of twenty trenches were excavated, with six trenches containing archaeological features. Of the six trenches containing archaeological features, four of the trenches contained ditches containing no datable material but which are likely to be medieval/post-medieval field boundaries associated with the cropmarks identified on the Historic England National Mapping Programme. Four pits were also recorded with one containing post-medieval brick fragments. |
