Abstract: |
Border Archaeology Ltd (BAL) was instructed by Test Valley Borough Council to undertake an Archaeological Field Evaluation of Land adjacent to No. 96 High Street Andover Hampshire SP10 1NE in advance of planning permission for two three-bedroom dwellings (Planning Ref. 15/00405/FULLN). The site comprised approximately 150m2 of open amenity space situated between No. 96 and No. 102 High Street. Until the 1970s, it was occupied by post-medieval housing, of which wall tie-ins remain visible in the external fabric of No. 96, the adjacent Georgian property to the south. Two trenches were opened: Trench 001 was located towards the back of the plot and measured 2.80m × 2.00m. Trench 002 was opened beside the road at the frontage of the plot and measured 2.90m × 1.90m. The site lies within the Andover Area of High Archaeological Potential and presumed extent of the original Saxon settlement. The results of the archaeological evaluation confirmed that any archaeology that may have been present within the site had been entirely truncated by at least two phases of post-medieval building activity, including cellarage, and subsequent demolition works carried out in the 1970s. No features or deposits of archaeological significance were identified during the evaluation. However, it should be noted that Georgian cellarage was identified in the evaluation trenching, with some evidence relating to earlier cellarage also present. |
