Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd (PCA) was appointed by the University of Winchester to undertake an archaeological watching brief on land at West Downs Campus, Romsey Road, Winchester, Hampshire. The Site is the subject of a proposed new development. The watching formed the final part of a staged approach to addressing the archaeological implications of the development and was informed by the results of an archaeological Desk-based Assessment prepared by ARCA (2016a) and a Ground Penetrating Radar Survey (ARCA 2016b). The watching brief was conducted during groundworks carried out between the 12th December 2017 and 1st May 2018. No significant archaeological remains were revealed. The site appears to have been landscaped during the late post-medieval period. The presence of 19th century material lying directly on top of natural deposits indicates that any post-medieval landscaping of the site was extensive, removing any earlier deposits. This suggests that any in situ archaeological features or deposits were destroyed at this time. |
