Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East were commissioned to undertake an archaeological watching brief by Wardell Armstrong LLP. on behalf of their clients Scottish and Southern Energy - Power Distribution. The evaluation was on the three intervention sites of the Hayling Island 33kV replacement cable route, at Southmoor; Langstone Harbour; and Northern Hayling Island in Hampshire. The work was carried out from 22nd April to 1st July 2009. A total of 480m of open trenching was monitored on Hayling Island as well as a number of smaller trenches in Southmoor where work was conducted to locate and trace the route of existing electricity cables. The access and exit points for the directional drilling were also monitored, at all three sites this involved the excavation of 'send' and 'receive' pits which were generally 4m2. The sites were largely devoid of archaeological features with the exception Hayling Island. Here a single undated pit was identified which appears to perhaps have been used in the production of salt; an industry known to have been active in the area from at least the Iron Age through to the medieval period. Two possible flakes of worked flint were also recovered from late post medieval contexts on the Island and appear to have later Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, and Bronze Age origins. |
