Abstract: |
In September 2019 Archaeological monitoring was carried out on groundworks to replace a 132kV underground cable between Fleet and Camberley, Hampshire. In September and October 2019, ADAS carried out an archaeological watching brief on groundworks for the replacement of an existing 132kV gas compression
line between Fleet and Camberley, Hampshire. The overall scheme was approximately 3.2 km in length, of which approximately 1.5 km was monitored under archaeological watching brief conditions. The archaeological monitoring was separated into two
areas, Area 1 and Area 2. A ditch identified in Area 1 was undated, although it was observed on the same alignment as an open boundary ditch and bank to the north-west of the cable trench. The Ordnance Survey (OS) County Series map of Surrey from 1872 shows a corresponding boundary feature along the southern extent of Hawley Common and immediately south of Hawley Pond. The ditch [104] was interpreted as an extension of this boundary ditch and bank and is likely a field boundary dating to the late 19th century.
A post hole and possible pit or tree bowl from Area 1 were also undated. However, the regular rectangular
profile of the post hole could indicate a relatively recent feature. The relative absence of archaeological features and artefacts found during the archaeological monitoring of Areas 1 and 2 may be partially attributed to the limited size and scope of the groundworks carried out. These results indicate that the monitoring methodology used was effective in ensuring that harm to the historic environment from the groundworks was mitigated or avoided. |
