Abstract: |
This report describes the results of an archaeological trial trench evaluation carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology on land east of Station Road, Overton, Hampshire (NGR SU 451808 150072) between the 15th and the 19th of August 2016. The archaeological work was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd in response to a planning condition attached to the Outline Planning Permission for the development of the site. This development proposal comprised housing in the north-western part of the site and a neighborhood park in the east of the site. The aim of the work was to characterise the archaeological potential of the proposed development area. The majority of the trenches excavated in the evaluation did not contain archaeological features or deposits; the archaeology that was present was scattered over the western half of the site. The principal result of the evaluation was the recording of ditches, a pit and postholes of a Roman XXXX date. The most significant of these features was a large boundary ditch, which was previously identified in excavations to the south of the site area. These features were associated with small assemblages of finds, primarily pottery of an XXXX date, ceramic building material and animal bone. The number of finds, relative to the small number of features suggests the site area is located proximately to settlement XXXX. |
