Abstract: |
Southampton City Council Archaeology Unit carried out an evaluation excavation in the garden of Bentley View Winterslow to support a planning application for a new dwelling. The archaeological work on site consisted of the excavation of a trench 9m long by 2m wide. The natural chalk was observed for a distance of 9m northwards from the assumed centre line of the Roman road. There was no sign of a side ditch, or high concentrations of flint as would be expected from a metalled road surface, although if the ditch was shallow it could have been removed by post-medieval pit 7. It is possible that post-Roman activity had removed the road metalling, if so it probably took place prior to the digging and backfilling of pits 7 and 9 as neither of them contained high concentrations of flint as would be expected if they had cut through the road surface. Pits 7 and 9 were probably dug and backfilled in the late 18th or early 19th century and could have been associated with the nearby windmill. |
