Abstract: |
The Archaeology Unit of Southampton City Council carried out a watching brief on the construction of houses at the rear of 45 Latimer Street, Romsey, in January 2014 and July 2015. A total of four trenches were dug for foundations and services. Natural gravel was observed between 0.4m and 0.75m below the surface. Above it was natural brickearth up to 300mm thick. The natural brickearth was cut by a post-medieval/early modern pit. Above the natural brickearth was a series of post-medieval/early modern layers, including a brick and flint-cobble floor. No trace of the ditched enclosures located on the adjacent Waitrose site were seen, but the area where a Late Iron Age-Romano-British ditch was projected to be present in Trench 3 was not excavated below the post-medieval cultivation level. The Late Saxon settlement evidence to the east and south on the Waitrose site was marked by large deep pits, again none were present, suggesting the area of the present site lay outside the settled area. |
