Abstract:
Wessex Archaeology (WA) was commissioned by Persimmon Homes South Coast (The Client) to undertake an archaeological evaluation on a 1.8ha block of land at Rowbarrow, Downton Road, prior to the determination of a planning application for residential development. The site had been the subject of a geophysical survey in October 2010 and the evaluation trenches, comprising of nine 30m by 1.8m trial evaluation trenches, were targeted using the results of the geophysical survey. The evaluation was carried out between the 8th and the 15th of November and identified a series of linear ditches, forming the remnants of a field system with a broad Early Bronze Age to Romano-British date and two large pit clusters dating to the Early to Middle Iron Age. One pit (3415) was found to contain a small quantity of undated disarticulated human remains. The results of the evaluation correlated well with the geophysical survey and the findings of earlier evaluation and mitigation within land immediately to the north of the site. While the investigation of the field system appears to confirm the nature and date range found in the previous work, the two large pit clusters appear to contain further archaeological potential, including the high probability of further human remains.
