Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by T Coleborn and Son Ltd, on behalf of Hampshire County Council, to undertake an archaeological watching brief at Fort Nelson, Portsdown Hill Road, Portchester, Fareham, PO17 6AN. The monitored works consisted of excavations within the “Redan” rampart, part of the scheduled monument (SM HA 329, HA 1001860), in order to enact repairs to defective drainage pipes which were causing damp to penetrate the brick masonry structure below.The watching brief was carried out as a condition of scheduled monument consent (SMC), granted by Historic England (S00241433), to investigate the cause to the water penetration by undertaking excavation at two locations in order to stop water penetration and subsequent damage to the historic fabric of the structure below. The archaeological monitoring of the hand excavated test pits only encountered made ground deposits which overlaid the bitumen roofing for the structures below. No in-situ archaeological features or deposits were encountered. A selection of modern artefacts were recovered from the works, but due to their age and context were photographed and not retained. |
