Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology (WA) was commissioned by Persimmon Homes South Coast to undertake a programme of archaeological investigations in advance of the residential development of land to the west of the Downton Road (A338), NGR SU 14920 28290 This fieldwork identified three areas where significant remains worthy of preservation by record were present and therefore a programme of archaeological excavation targeting these three areas was undertaken. Area 1 was focussed on evaluation trench 6 where a human burial had been identified during evaluation, Area 2 was located over evaluation trench 10 in an area of possible Late Bronze Age activity and Area 3 was excavated to the west of evaluation trench 15 in order to investigate a possible ditch. The burial in Area 1 was found to be of a child aged between 7-8 years and has been scientifically dated to 580-650 AD. This provides a rare example of a lone indigenous burial from the 6-7th centuries. The ditch excavated in Area 3 dates from the late Bronze Age to Early Iron Age and was thought to be part of a wider enclosure or boundary system.
