Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd on land at Fort Nelson near Fareham, Hampshire. The evaluation comprised of eight evaluation trenches measuring 10m x 2m. No evidence of archaeological activity was recorded predating the 19th century. In Trench 3 a deep north-south aligned linear cut was revealed and was lined on both sides by red brick walls. The backfilling of this feature dated to the late 19th century suggesting that the structure itself was contemporary with the Fort, possibly in the form of a tunnel or sunken thoroughfare. Shallow linear cuts recorded in Trenches 5, 6 and 7 were interpreted as construction cuts for a military building constructed outside the Fort during WW1. They had all been backfilled with contaminated demolition material. |
