Former Car Clinic, Back of the Walls, Southampton - Archaeological Evaluation Report

Wessex Archaeology

The evaluation partially revealed two ditches, conceivably corresponding to the inner and outer town ditches east of the line of the town wall. These were cut through brickearth. One rim sherd of medieval pottery and ceramic building material were recovered, along with a fragment of bone, from redeposited brickearth lying between the line of the town wall and the inner ditch. No evidence of the town wall was found along the western frontage. Modern foundations were also revealed cut down into the natural brickearth. These have severely impacted archaeological remains, which appeared to survive between them.
