Abstract:		 A watching brief was carried out, and archaeological excavation of a lift pit and several pile positions was undertaken, during the construction of student accommodation at a site which lay close to the core of Saxon Hamwic. The remains of several cess or rubbish pits of Middle Saxon and medieval date were recorded, and a small assemblage of pottery ranging in date from the Roman to the post-medieval period was recovered. A cellar which had probably belonged to an 18th century house was recorded. One of the seven rooms of the cellar featured an elaborately tiled floor, whilst many were plastered and decorated with a green or pink distemper or wash. The remains of outbuildings, playgrounds and paths relating to use of the site as a workhouse school until the early 20th century were also encountered, and a probable quarry pit for the extraction of brickearth was found.
