Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology was commissioned by Winchester City Council to undertake an archaeological watching brief during ground works proceeding the construction of a retaining wall in Upper Brook Street Car Park, Winchester, Hampshire. This report concerns the results of the archaeological watching brief, which comprised monitoring visits made between the 26th and 27th February 2019. No significant archaeological deposits, features, artefacts or environmental remains were uncovered in the retaining wall trench. The only deposits encountered relate to the made ground which comprises the extant car park. Features revealed during the commencement of groundworks compose of partially demolished, single skin red brick walls, likely garden walls from the C19th onward, which were recorded in situ where surviving. It is concluded that, although it is possible that significant archaeological resources remain in the areas surrounding the retaining wall trench, any evidence of this had been removed by the disturbance caused by the construction of the car park at Upper Brook Street. |
