Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group during March and September 2006 at 47 Broad Street, Alresford, Hampshire, on behalf of Masser Architects. The aim of the watching brief was to assess the impact of the proposed development on any surviving archaeological remains. The watching brief was conducted during two phases of ground reduction ahead of landscaping, construction of an extension to the current house and the installation of a car turntable. Several medieval circular garden features were recorded during the reduction within the current garage. The pits were dated to 1350-1500 AD and are likely to be the remains of a previous garden landscape which previously occupied that area of the site. Four post-medieval wells or soakaways were also recorded on site. Only one of the wells or soakaways was brick lined, the remainder were either cut directly into the natural chalk or the original lining had been recovered to be used elsewhere. The post-medieval features were dated to 1600-1700AD. Also recorded on site was a bricklined culvert which ran east-west across the southern limit of the garage building. Only 1.50m of the culvert was exposed revealing that the culvert was composed of redbrick measured approximately 0.60m wide. The course of the culvert suggests that it would have run parallel along Broad Street and is likely to have collected water or sewage from the properties fronting Broad Street. |
