Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned by John Piper to undertake a machine dug archaeological test pit to the rear of 17 North Walls, Winchester, Hampshire. The test pit targeted the southern extent of a proposed development area. The site was located immediately to the north of the line of City Defences, close to the location of the City Ditch. Geotechnical boreholes, previously undertaken within the proposed development area, did not identify any ditch fills. The aim of this archaeological investigation was to test the results of the geotechnical boreholes and assess whether the City Ditch does or does not run underneath the site. This report concerns the results of the archaeological test pit, which was undertaken on the 17th of November 2017. The archaeological test pit revealed no archaeological resources, of any type. No evidence for the City defensive ditch was identified within the test pit and, as such, supports the evidence from the geotechnical boreholes, which also suggested that there were no ditch fills present. It is recommended that no further archaeological investigation is required on site, owing to the demonstrated lack of archaeological potential. It is therefore suggested that this document be submitted in satisfaction of the archaeological conditions of the planning permission. |
