Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd (PCA) was appointed by Jacobs Foreman Developments Ltd to undertake an archaeological evaluation on the land off Ranelagh Road, Havant, Hampshire, PO9 1NR (Figure 1).The archaeological investigation was conducted in respect of a planning application proposing a residential development on the site and the results of the evaluation were required to inform determination of the archaeological implications of the proposed development. This report details the results and working methods of the archaeological evaluation, which comprised the excavation of twenty evaluation trenches. Work was undertaken between the 29th of September and the 6th of October 2014. The evaluation has confirmed that the site has undergone extensive quarrying activity dating to the 19th century, which had removed the upper brickearth layer [52] from trenches 10 and 11, 17 to 19 and 23 to 25 is the result of 19th century site stripping whilst the site was in used as a brickearth quarry noted in trenches 8, 15 and 16, 21 and 22. The only archaeological features present on site was a curved linear [42] recorded at 0.45m BGL (6.16m aOD) and small pit [44] in Trench 8, which have been interpreted as a Bronze Age field boundary. Trench 9 also contained pre-historic worked flint fragments retrieved towards the top of the upper brickearth layer [52]. No other evidence for human activity predating the 19th century quarrying activity and recent use of the site as a stable and allotments was identified within the other 20 investigated trenches. |
