Abstract: |
Southampton City Council Archaeology Unit carried out a watching brief on the groundworks for a garage and link at 82 Oliver's Battery Road, Winchester .The site lies to the south of Badger Farm Road and north of Downlands Road to the south of Winchester. The site lay within the scheduled area around a Bronze Age bowl barrow designated Scheduled Monument Number 12141 which was subject to excavation in the 1930s. The watching brief was carried out partly within and partly outside the scheduled area of the upstanding prehistoric burial mound, and revealed a small cemetery. Graves, possible graves, possible post-pits and other features were found. Part of one grave was threatened by the foundations and it was excavated. The legs of three skeletons were removed; others beneath them were left in-situ. One individual had been buried face down, and fettered to another individual in the same grave. Radiocarbon dates from the three individuals spanned the period AD 980-1170. |
