Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Aspire Defence Capital Works (the Client), to undertake an archaeological evaluation in support of an application for planning permission (S/2008/0725) for the construction of a new building comprising a two storey training classroom wing and a single storey lecture theatre, situated on the site of an existing car park, centred on National Grid Reference SU 18315 43715. The evaluation comprised the excavation of a single 15m x 2m north-east to south-west orientated trench situated towards the southern end of the proposed development footprint. The location of the trench was agreed upon in consultation with Aspire Defence during an on-site meeting as a result of constraints such as services and the need to maintain the current car parking facilities throughout the course of the works. The trench revealed two modern brick walls with concrete foundations. Three archaeological features were also revealed; two pits (103 and 104) and a posthole [105] were dentified and excavated at the southern end of the trench. Pit [104] produced a single sherd of ottery dating to the Late Bronze Age/ Early Iron Age period. Pit [103] produced several fragments of a fired clay loomweight of a similar date and posthole [105] produced a single animal bone. The results of the evaluation indicate that there is potential for archaeological features dating to the prehistoric period to survive within the area of the development footprint. |
