Abstract: |
The archaeological works were carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited on behalf of McGoff and Byrne Ltd. The project was supervised by Maisie Marshall and Thomas Hayes and the work monitored by Tracy Mathews, the Winchester City Council Historic Environment Team Archaeologist. The evaluation works were carried out between the 8th and 10th of May 2017 and between the 30th of May 2018 and the 6th of June 2018. The archaeological evaluation revealed no archaeologically significant features, deposits or finds. The earliest deposit encountered during the evaluation was a naturally deposited yellowish/orange brown clay. This natural clay was reached in all of the trenches in the southern portion of the site (trenches 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13). It was also identified in trenches, 21 and 23, in the northern portion of the site. There appears to have been side wide modern disturbance, which had truncated natural deposits. This can be seen in the significant build-up of re-deposited natural clay in the northern portion of the site, which is likely to have been formed, at least in part, by material taken from the southern portion of the site. The site wide disturbance would have likely removed or seriously damaged any previously in situ archaeological resources. The modern refuse material included bottles that dated from between 1960 and 1980, which suggests that the disturbance of the ground levels occurred within the last 50 years, likely linked to a phase of construction at the business park. No further archaeological work is recommended. |
