Abstract
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned to conduct an archaeological investigation, comprising watching brief and trial trench evaluation, on land formerly occupied by part of the Ford Motor Company factory in Southampton, Hampshire, covering approximately 3.8 hectares centred on NGR 444600 116400.
The watching brief, undertaken during the breaking up and removal of the concrete slab covering the site, revealed World War II structures – Anderson Shelters and a concrete bunker – corresponding to features shown on a 1941 plan of the Cunliffe-Owens aircraft factory which then occupied the site.
