Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd (West) was commissioned by Winchester City Council to undertake an archaeological evaluation at Upper Brook Street Car Park, Winchester, Hampshire (SU 48291 29600). The evaluation was designed to join up two previous archaeological investigations, UBS92 and PCA 2012, in order to better understand the nature and location of any archaeological deposits. This report concerns the results of the archaeological evaluation, which was carried out between the 7th and 11th of December 2015. No significant archaeological deposits, features, artefacts or environmental remains were uncovered. However the limits of both previous investigations were identified. A series of modern and post-medieval deposits were identified to a depth of 1.23m, at which point an alluvial deposit was encountered. It is concluded that although many significant archaeological resources were uncovered during the UBS92 excavation, much of the site may not contain substantial archaeological features (concurring with the results of the PCA 2012 evaluation). However, owing to the variable nature and location of the archaeology identified during the UBS92 excavation, areas with lower archaeological potential are discreet and cannot be easily defined. |
