Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at Cadlands Primary School, formerly Holbury Infants School, Holbury, Southampton, Hampshire. The work was undertaken between the 24th July and 22nd August 2007 on behalf of Hampshire County Council. The watching brief was maintained during all ground reduction carried out by Oliver Construction on behalf of Mansell Construction Services Limited. The underlying natural across the excavation area was encountered at varying heights between a maximum height of 50.67m OD and 49.21m OD. Eleven features were recorded, most notably three large probable quarry pits [1004], [1009] and [1010], the latter of which was not excavated as it was to be preserved in-situ and two possible hearths [1051] and [1057], which were truncated by [1050], most likely a tree throw. Three smaller discreet features comprising of a pit [1047] and two smaller pits or postholes [1045] and [1043] were located to the immediate east of the probable hearths. All nine discreet features appeared to be partly 'enclosed' by two linear features, the full extents of which were not visible but the revealed plan shows that they could possibly have intersected just outside the area excavated forming part of an enclosed or a partially enclosed area. Five sections [1012], [1075], [1079], [1086], [1094] were excavated through Linear A which ran in a northwest- southeast alignment to the northeast of the discreet features. Four sections [1073], [1082], [1084] and [1091] were excavated through Linear B which was aligned northeast- southwest to the east of the discreet features.
