Abstract: |
Southampton City Council Archaeology Unit carried out an archaeological watching brief at the Gordon Hall Offices, 9 Carlton Road, Southampton. Historically the site had been located in the grounds of Bannisters Farm during the medieval period, Bannisters Park in the Georgian era and Archers Lodge in the mid-19th century. Seven trenches were dug under archaeological supervision. Trench 1 was assigned to the removal of the existing foundations and the floor slab. Trenches 2-7 were dug for the foundations of the new building and were 0.6m wide and excavated to a depth of between 0.6 and 2m. The River Terrace gravels were overlain by brickearth. The upper surface of the brickearth had been weathered by bioturbation and contained a few burnt flints, suggestive of prehistoric activity. Above the brickearth was a garden/plough soil layer. It had probably built up slowly for millennia, and included a few fragments of oyster shell and brick. No significant archaeological deposits or features were seen. |
