Abstract:		 Approval was granted for the construction of single storey building adjacent to an existing community centre to form changing rooms, toilets and consulting rooms north of Eastney Community Centre, Bransbury Park, Bransbury Road, Milton, Portsmouth. A requirement of the approval was that an archaeological watching brief took place on the groundworks. The Archaeology Unit of Southampton City Council carried out the archaeological watching brief on behalf of Portsmouth City Council. The area is shown as low lying land on 18th and 19th century maps, and further to the east was a creek leading to Langstone Harbour. Natural clay was observed some 1.8m below the surface. Above the natural was a very dark grey sandy clay loam layer, possibly the result of natural silting. Fragments of 19th - 20th china, glass, and clay pipe were observed in this layer. Above this was some 500mm of soil that contained large amounts of late 19th-early 20th century domestic rubbish with glass and stoneware bottles, china, and bricks and tiles. Above the rubbish layer were subsoil and topsoil layers, presumably imported when the park was created.
