Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd (West) was commissioned by Mike Bundy to undertake an archaeological evaluation at Abbey Cottage, Titchfield, Hampshire (453980 106572). The investigation was designed to evaluate the archaeological potential of the study site, ahead of development. Three evaluation trenches were excavated as a part of this evaluation; trench 1 targeting the site of a proposed menege (to the north of the site) and trench 2 and 3 targeting the site of a proposed stable (to the south of the site). This report concerns the results of the archaeological evaluation, which was carried out between the 14th and 16th of March 2016. No significant archaeological deposits, features, artefacts or environmental remains were uncovered owing to site wide extensive modern disturbance. Trench 1 revealed a sequence of tospsoil and subsoil above a sandy clay natural. The sterile nature of all deposits encountered suggest that sand/gravel extraction may have taken place; this was also indicated by an account of a former landowner. Trench 2 and 3 revealed evidence for extensive modern disturbance related to the construction of a workshop. The archaeological evaluation revealed no evidence for any archaeological deposits or features, owing to site wide extensive modern disturbance. This disturbance, comprising potential sand extraction and construction, is likely to have removed or significantly damaged any archaeological resource that may have once been present. |
