Abstract: |
This report details the results of an archaeological investigation on Land at School Lane, Broughton, Hampshire (430487 133189). The investigation was commissioned by CgMs Consulting and was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd (PCA) between the 30th of May and 3rd of June, prior to the start of any development work on site. The archaeological excavation followed, and was informed by, a series of archaeological evaluation trenches excavated in May 2016. Evaluation Trench 8 uncovered an urned cremation burial and evaluation trench 13 uncovered a discreet group of seven pits. These two features, and the area surrounding them, were the target for the archaeological strip, map and sample investigation. The investigation comprised two 30m by 30m excavation areas, Area 1 centred on the urned cremation and Area 2 centred on the group of pits. The features identified during the evaluation were uncovered and investigated. The urned cremation was revealed to have been heavily damaged by ploughing, but was consistent in pattern and design with the collared urns of the early Bronze-Age. The group of seven pits were found to be isolated, with no obvious association to any other feature. Fragments of animal bone/horn were found in two of the pits and are likely to be prehistoric in date. Two further discreet features were identified in Area 1, a pit and a possible posthole, the pit containing a range of pottery dating from the middle Bronze-Age. |
