| Abstract: |
The survey corridor followed the proposed route of a water pipe westwards from Michelmersh to south-west of Broughton. The available portion of the route was investigated by gradiometer scanning; this was followed by recorded survey at 11 areas along the route. The section of the pipeline route west of the River Test ran close to, or along, sections of the Roman road between Winchester and Old Sarum. The only other significant monument encountered was Beech Barrow, which lay close to the former Roman road. This work formed part of a wider archaeological evaluation being undertaken by Wessex Archaeology. Scanning noted responses of possible interest at various points along the survey corridor. The most coherent of these were at the north-western end of the corridor and close to the line of a former Roman road. Sections of the corridor were unsuitable for survey because of excessive magnetic disturbance or tall crop. Detailed survey recorded numerous anomalies comprising broad linears, short ditch-type anomalies and pit-type responses at several sites along the survey corridor. The most significant concentration coincided with the above-mentioned scanned anomalies close to the Roman Road. [Au(abr)] |
