Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology commissioned by Morgan Sindall Construction and Infrastructure Ltd on behalf of Fareham Borough Council undertook an archaeological watching brief as a condition of planning permission (planning ref. P/16/1337/D3, Fareham Borough Council, 27 February 2017) during initial groundworks of an extension to the existing Fareham Innovation Centre, at Meteor Way, Daedalus, Lee-on-Solent, Fareham, Hampshire, PO13 9FU, centred on NGR 456839 101776. The work followed archaeological investigations carried out under conditions attached to separate planning applications for the construction of the Fareham Innovation Centre (Phase 1) and other developments nearby. The watching brief, undertaken between 19 April and 16 May 2017, revealed further, albeit sparse and poorly dated elements of the fragmented, multi-period landscape uncovered during previous archaeological works within the former RNAS Lee-on-Solent/HMS Daedalus. No archaeologically significant finds, features or deposits were recorded within three areas monitored during the watching brief (Zones 2-¬4), as groundworks largely coincided with areas substantially affected by modern ground disturbance and service installations. In contrast a sparse scatter of shallow linear ditches, pits and possible postholes was recorded within another area (Zone 1). Little intrinsically datable artefactual material was recovered from any excavated contexts, although a pit and a ditch yielded considerable quantities of marine shell, potentially of earlier medieval origin. The focus of a putative medieval settlement remains elusive, but this suggests that Zone 1 lies on the periphery of the more intensively utilised area previously investigated to the south-east. No significant indications of prehistoric activity were recorded during the watching brief.
