Published: 2020-04-01
Subjects: Modern Settlement
Out of the 20 pits excavated, only one contained deposits different to a stratigraphic sequence of layers of made ground overlain by the modern topsoil, that had been established by the evaluation. This was a modern feature, whose single fill contained metal sheeting and bricks. This feature appears likely to be associated with the construction of the present footpath. A layer of mortar [...]

The earliest evidence of activity on site was provided by a small quantity of worked flint, including a fragment of an Early Neolithic polished axe, retrieved from subsoil or found residually in later features. Two parallel ditches, aligned north-east to south-west and approximately 30 m apart, provide limited evidence for Romano-British settlement. An adjacent quarry pit, for gravel, could [...]

Former Oaklands School, Fairisle Road, Southampton - Archaeological Evaluation Report
Published: 2020-01-01
Subjects: Iron Age Agriculture, Romano-British Agriculture
The evaluation successfully identified four ditches, two pits, one hearth and a post-hole. Three of the ditches and one of the pits have been dated by pottery to the late Iron Age/early Roman period.

There was also nothing to suggest the processing [...]

This report records the results of an archaeological excavation. Archaeologically significant features were predominantly confined to two of the excavated areas: Area 1a and Area 2. Area 1a contained a ring ditch, which probably represented the remains of an earlier Bronze Age round barrow. A small quantity of re-deposited cremated human bone recovered from the ditch may have derived from a [...]
