Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs Consulting to undertake a trial trench evaluation on land to the north of Goldring Close, Mengham, Hayling Island, Hampshire, centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) 472540 099500. Planning permission is being sought for the construction of a new residential development with drainage and associated works. In accordance to national legislation and local planning policies, and following a desk-based assessment of the site, the Senior Archaeologist at Hampshire County Council had requested further works by means of evaluation trenching so that informed decisions could be made regarding the scope of any further mitigation that may be needed before or during the development. The archaeological works proposed the machine excavation of 30 trenches, each measuring 30m x 2m. On the recommendation of the Senior Archaeologist, two additional 10m trenches were excavated as a contingency during the main phase of investigation. Together, the trial trenches covered a 4% sample of the total site area. The evaluation identified two postholes, one Romano-British and the other medieval, a modern field boundary, and the remains of a possible unurned cremation burial. A number of undated linear gullies and ditches were also identified, and together suggest a relatively low level of activity within the site. |
