Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd (PCA) was appointed by appointed by Bouygues UK to carry out a programme of archaeological works in advance of development of 60-64 St Mary's Road, Southampton (NGR 442299 112516). The works comprise an archaeological excavation and watching brief. The excavation (undertaken in 2013) was to consist of open area excavation in two trenches, Trench 1 being a re-investigation of a previous area of investigation known as 'SOU379 Trench 1' and Trench 2 a new trench on line of the former Northam Street. Trench 1 was set out following the outline of the previous archaeological excavation 'SOU379. The watching brief (undertaken during February 2016) monitored groundworks to the east of the Site designed to link new storm drains to the existing drainage network. Trench 1 and trench 2 revealed no evidence for any archaeological resources and indicated that the base of the previous excavation had been at some point mechanically removed. The watching brief only encountered modern deposits related to the previous excavations of modern services. No archaeological resources were recorded within the area monitored as a part of the watching brief. It can be concluded that the excavation and watching brief demonstrates that the site retained no archaeological resources. |
