Abstract: |
The Archaeology Unit of Southampton City Council carried out an archaeological evaluation excavation on land to the east of St Andrew's Church, Kilmeston, Hampshire, in May, 2014. The work was commissioned by the Parochial Church Council of St Andrews. The Council hopes to extend the churchyard to the east of the present one. Winchester City Council asked for an evaluation of the site with two trenches placed across linear anomalies identified by a geophysics survey. The natural consisted of Clay-with-Flints over Chalk. No prehistoric contexts were identified but a few residual prehistoric artefacts, including later prehistoric pottery sherds and flints, were present. Two features relating to iron-working probably belonged in the Late Saxon-Anglo-Norman period. They contained evidence of iron smithing. The presence of large struck flint flakes suggests an association with the construction of the nearby church which was built of knapped flint nodules with malmstone dressings |
