Abstract:		 Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd (PCA) were appointed by Steven Cowen of H. Woollhead Ltd. to under- take archaeological investigations as a requirement of planning consent in advance of development at the rear of no 5 East Street, New Alresford, Hampshire. The investigations exposed evidence of medieval and post-medieval activity in the form of linear features, pits and numerous postholes and stakeholes. The medieval activity, which was confined to the southern end of the site, comprised two pits. Both pits contained small find assemblages including pottery, building roof tile and slate. The contents of an environmental sample taken from the primary fill from one pit suggested it may have served as a pit latrine. The dating evidence from the two features, consisting of four largely-complete vessels including a near-complete glazed ‘face-jug’ and roof tile, provides a coherent mid-11th to 13th century date for the construction and use of the pits which most likely represent backlands activity to the pre-existing medieval tenements fronting East Street. The pits may also have formed an eastern boundary to the medieval activity. With the exception of a well cutting the one of the medieval pits, post-medieval activity on the site was concentrated to the north of the medieval activity and comprised numerous sub-square and sub-circular postholes of pre-existing structures, although no discernible footprints for those structures were identified. This activity is dated broadly to the 17th century. Other features included two discontinuous linear features of unknown function which were aligned north-east to south-west across the site and a posthole and pit cluster that may represent a boundary division. Early modern activity was represented by an early 19th century midden in the north-west corner of the site which produced copious amounts of ceramic, glass and oyster shell remains and a pit recorded in section which served, partially, as a depository for butchered animals. A cobble surface at the northern end of the site represents a yard surface post-dating the demolition of the mid-16th-18th century structures.
