Land at Lowsley Farm, Liphook, Hampshire - Archaeological Excavation Report

Wessex Archaeology

Wessex Archaeology was commissioned to conduct an archaeological excavation on an area of land covering 600 m² at Lowsley Farm, Liphook, Hampshire centred on National Grid Reference 483175 132125.

Prior to the excavation a desk study, geophysical survey and trial trench evaluation had been conducted on the site. Following the evaluation, it was determined that a small area be subjected to targeted excavation, focussing on a trench in which two undated pits with deliberate deposits of burnt material had been found, and where the geophysical survey had found a small number of magnetic anomalies. The excavation successfully identified an extension to one of the pits excavated during the evaluation and a second pit. The only other features identified during the excavation were two shallow sinuous features, interpreted as former hedge-lines.

None of the features investigated during the excavation contained any datable artefacts.
