Abstract: |
The Archaeology Unit of Southampton City Council carried out a watching brief in March 2017 on groundworks for the construction of a pond at Southampton Sports Centre. The site lay in an Area of Archaeological Potential identified by Southampton City Council and a number of prehistoric finds had been made in the area. An archaeological watching brief was kept on the groundworks. The area had been subject to level reduction for a sports pitch in the early 20th century. This had removed between 1.3m and 2m of the natural from the area where the pond was dug. This would have removed any archaeology that had previously been present, and none was observed. There was also much disturbance by land drains. No archaeological evidence was observed. |
