Abstract:		 Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd (PCA) was appointed by the Environmental Dimension Partnership (EDP) (the Client) to undertake archaeological investigations as a requirement of outline planning consent on land south of Chestnut Avenue north Stoneham Park, Chestnut Avenue, Stoneham Lane, Eastleigh, Hampshire. The investigations on land at Chestnut Avenue/Stoneham Lane have revealed evidence of transitional Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age activity located, predominantly, on a north-south aligned strip of land underlain by gravel, sand, silt and clay Head deposits. The identifiable activity comprised several clusters of discrete features possibly representing the post foundations for buildings. Numerous loomweights were recovered from the features in one building suggesting textile weaving. Lesser quantities of similar finds from the other 'buildings' indicates that they may also have housed craft activity. There was some slight evidence of Romano-British and medieval activity occurring on the vicinity of the site albeit in low quantities of abraded Roman and medieval finds intrusive and residual in fea-tures. The planting pits for a north-south aligned linear avenue of trees, possibly Sweet Chestnuts - and from which the name of the road bounding the north of the site may be derived - was identified, rep-resenting the formal layout of the pre-Capability Brown re-landscaping of the site dating to broadly the 1680's. Evidence of Brown's 1775 landscaping of the site was also evident in the form of tree-planting pits for tree clusters at the northern end of the site.
