Abstract: |
The evaluation found conjectural evidence for an undated post-built structure near the western edge of the property that comprised five post holes forming what appeared to be the right-angled corner of a possible building, with a single outlying post hole to the north. A single fragment of broken flint blade was the only artefact found. A subsequent watching brief revealed one further undated post-hole. A small cast-concrete semi-sunken air raid shelter was recorded near the NE corner of the site, thought to have been associated with the Second World War defences of nearby Middle Wallop Airfield. It was concluded that the structure served some outlying military facility. In woodland a few metres to the north of the shelter was a large wooden hut. It may have originated as a military hut, with the woodland being planted contemporaneously to camouflage it from enemy aircraft. [Au(abr)] |
