Abstract:		 Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd (PCA) was appointed by Bargate Homes Ltd to undertake a programme of archaeological evaluation on land at Chestnut Avenue, North Stoneham Park, Eastleigh, Hampshire, specifically, consented development Area 5A. The site is the subject of a proposed residential development. The evaluation comprised the excavation of thirty-two trenches measuring 30m x 2m intended to provide a reasonable sample of the Site. All proposed trenches were opened and investigated between the 24th of August and 10th of September 2020. The evaluation has demonstrated that areas of the Site contain archaeological remains dating to three different time periods, Late Iron Age/Early Romano British, Romano British, and post-medieval. The majority of features dating to Late Iron Age/early Romano British and Romano-British periods, were uncovered in the southwestern half of the Site, and seem to be concentrated towards the centre of this area. The evaluation revealed a low number of widely dispersed and mainly linear features of probably late Iron Age and Romano-British date. The linear features may describe enclosures, but their varied alignment does not describe a discernible pattern or regularity. Although the character of the activity is uncertain, the range of features and finds would suggest that the activity is rural and peripheral to settlement. The features are consistent with widespread activity of the periods in the wider landscape of the Itchen Valley and northern extent of the Hampshire basin north of Southampton and as such can be considered as locally significant and comparable across site type and material assemblage with other sites such as Dairy Lane, Nursling and Zionshill Farm, Chandlers Ford. The significance of the archaeological remains appears to be relatively low and of local value, being neither unusual nor exceptionally well-preserved or finds-rich. As such, there appears to be no value in securing their preservation other than by record. If required, this might take the form of a carefully targeted stage of mitigation works that should be agreed with the County Archaeologist in order to meet the requirement of the Local Planning Authority.
