Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd was commissioned by the Leckford Estate to undertake an archaeological watching brief during works to install a badger-proof fence around a scheduled bowl barrow at Waters Down Farm, Longstock, Hampshire (SU 33566 37675). This report concerns the results of the archaeological watching brief, which involved a series of monitoring visits made in November 2015 during the excavation of a trench around the barrow for the badger-proof fence. No significant archaeological deposits, features, artefacts or environmental remains were uncovered. Topsoil was observed to a depth of approximately 0.30m below ground level, at which point the natural chalk was encountered. In places there was an interface layer identified between the topsoil and the natural, of approximately 0.10m depth. It is concluded that although the site clearly contains a great deal of archaeological potential, no evidence of significant archaeological deposits were encountered in the areas that were excavated. |
