Introduction
The watching brief was carried out on groundworks associated with the erection of a house in the rear garden of 269 Wimpson Lane. The natural geology on site was the River Terrace Gravel overlain by silty clay of the Wittering Formation, on the north side of a valley in which flows ‘the Wimpson stream’. The upper part of the Wittering Formation clay showed evidence of bioturbation and leaching, and also contained burnt and reddened flints suggestive of human activity, but none of the flints appeared to be within archaeological features.
No certain archaeology was observed.
