Abstract:		 Archaeology South-East was commissioned by Persimmon Homes (South-East, to undertake an archaeological evaluation in advance of redevelopment of land at Brislands Lane, Four Marks, Hampshire. A total of 34 trenches were excavated. An undisturbed subsoil horizon was recorded across all 34 trenches. The topsoil horizon was removed across the entirety of the site, prior to the commencement of the archaeological evaluation, as part of an ecological investigation. 30 of the 34 trenches investigated were devoid of archaeological features. In total, 11 possible archaeological features were identified within the site area comprising of one linear ditch, one possible ditch terminus, four pits of which one was associated with three stake holes and a posthole, and one further isolated posthole. Other than the ditch terminus which contained two sherds of later Prehistoric pottery, and a pit which contained large quantities of fire cracked flint and oak charcoal, all other features were devoid of artefacts and remained undated. However, all features were sealed by a subsoil horizon. A linear ditch identified in Trench 11 was orientated on a north-west to south-east alignment, corresponding with the alignment of the existing field system. The ditch may therefore represent a removed field boundary ditch. A low level of prehistoric activity within the site area could be postulated from the limited finds assemblage. A single piece of struck flint, recovered from a topsoil context could be Neolithic in date and two cross-fitting bodysherds of pottery of a fabric more typical of the Iron Age than of earlier periods were recovered from a ditch terminus fill.
