Abstract: |
PCA was appointed by Winchester City Council to undertake a 2 no 5m by 5m test pit(s) evaluation within the Upper Brook Street car park, in respect of a proposal for a new medical centre to be built on the site. The results of the evaluation, which was located no more than 10m to the north of a previous 1992 evaluation, showed a surprising lack of any significant archaeology given the sites location in this part of Winchester. No evidence of any structural remains dating to the Roman, Saxon or medieval periods were found and the site would appear only to have been built on in the post medieval period as gardens for houses facing on to Upper Brook Street. Geoarchaeological boreholes identified the natural River Terrace Gravels at a depth of 6.20m BGL, which was capped by a series of alluvial and peat layers. The uppermost alluvium was overlain by post medieval garden soil, which in turn was overlain by layers relating to the use of the Site as a car park. |
