Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East (ASE) was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Limited on behalf of their client Linden Homes to undertake an archaeological excavation and watching brief in advance of redevelopment of land at 56 High Street, Odiham, Hampshire. An enhanced historic background search was also undertaken. The first phase of the watching brief demonstrated that the construction of the houses fronting onto the High Street, Odiham had truncated the natural geological deposits. A single course brick-built foundation supported the east walls of 58, 60 and 62 High Street, Odiham and directly overlay the natural deposits along the west edge of the site. The west wall of 54 High Street, Odiham was constructed directly onto the natural deposits. The excavation phase of the project revealed four linear features of which two yielded Medieval or early Post-Medieval surface finds. No investigation of the features was possible due to the degree of petrochemical contamination. Linear feature [209], located along the west of the excavation area, is likely to represent a removed Medieval burgage plot boundary first illustrated on a 1739 estate map and again on the 1843 Odiham tithe map. The second phase of the watching brief identified heavy contamination and truncation towards the centre and southern boundary of the site. A single possible well identified in the southern area of the watching brief is likely to correspond with a pump illustrated on the Ordnance Survey (OS) map of 1896. |
