| Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Mildren Construction Limited to undertake an archaeological watching brief during groundwork associated with the extension of the existing Gosport Household Recycling Centre, Gosport, Hampshire centred on National Grid Reference 458690 100002. The Site, which accommodates the Recycling Centre, comprises a rectangular plot of land of c. 0.53ha and is located to the west of Gosport. The Site is positioned within an Area of Archaeological Potential as defined in the Historic rural Settlement in Hampshire. Prior to the development of the Site in the 1990s, an archaeological evaluation and subsequent excavation were undertaken which identified a small unenclosed Bronze Age settlement site. The current watching brief comprised archaeological monitoring of groundwork in two areas: during excavations for a new customer vehicle exit lane (Area 1) and during works associated with a new customer vehicle stacking lane and eight tree planting pits (Area 2). No archaeological features or deposits were revealed in the course of the watching brief. Modern made ground deposits, likely associated with the initial construction of the Recycling Centre, were recorded across the Site. The natural geology, comprising river gravels, was only revealed in the southern part of Area 1, as the excavation depth within the rest of the Site was insufficient to expose the natural deposits. The watching brief fieldwork was conducted during March and April 2011. |
