Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East was commissioned by Shaw Design Services on behalf of their client, Sunley Estates to conduct archaeological evaluation in advance of the redevelopment of land to the south of 34 Havant Road, Horndean, Hampshire. The work was carried out between 21st January and 29th January 2013 in order to evaluate the condition, extent and nature of archaeological remains. The site is situated in the south-western part of Horndean, between Havant road (B2149) to the east and the A3(M) to the west. The evaluation targeted known magnetometry anomalies and corroborates that good potential for archaeological survival of cut features exists across much of the site. Late Iron Age and Roman industrial/settlement evidence was identified in the north-western quarter of the site (Trenches 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 14, 18 and the north of trench 22) and was represented by a large number of ditch sections postholes and pits often with charcoal rich fills. Finds of daub with a flat face and in one case wattle impressions may be indicative of structural remains; while briquetage fragments recovered may illustrate salt transportation. Ceramic dating indicates two main phase groups with initial establishment of activities between AD 10 and 70 representing a pre conquest or pre Boudiccan revolt phase, and the second group from AD 50-80 to 100 perhaps indicating a strengthening or reinstatement of activities in the later phase. The evidence does not support the continuation of activities beyond this period other than a single refuse pit in the south of the site (Trench 17) dated to the late 12th-/early 13th- to later 13th- centuries. |
