Meso. Neo. BA IA RB AS MED PM Other Victorian100 word summaryAn archaeological watching brief was undertaken at Cadlands Primary School, formerly Holbury Infants School, Holbury,Southampton, Hampshire. The work was undertaken between the 24 th July and 22 nd August 2007 on behalf of Hampshire CountyCouncil. The watching brief was maintained during all ground reduction carried out by Oliver Construction on behalf of MansellConstruction Services Limited. An area totalling 1947 square meters was stripped to allow for the excavation of foundationtrenches for an extension to the existing school buildings. In addition a drainage trench extending across the access roadway intothe school grounds to the southeast corner of the development site was monitored during the latter stages of fieldwork between the15 th August and 22 nd August 2007.The underlying natural across the excavation area was encountered at varying heights between a maximum height of 50.67m ODand 49.21m OD.Eleven features were recorded, most notably three large probable quarry pits [1004], [1009] and [1010], the latter of which was notexcavated as it was to be preserved in-situ and two possible hearths [1051] and [1057], which were truncated by [1050], most likelya tree throw. Three smaller discreet features comprising of a pit [1047] and two smaller pits or postholes [1045] and [1043] werelocated to the immediate east of the probable hearths. All nine discreet features appeared to be partly ‘enclosed’ by two linearfeatures, the full extents of which were not visible but the revealed plan shows that they could possibly have intersected justoutside the area excavated forming part of an enclosed or a partially enclosed area. Five sections [1012], [1075], [1079], [1086],[1094] were excavated through Linear A which ran in a northwest- southeast alignment to the northeast of the discreet features.Four sections [1073], [1082], [1084] and [1091] were excavated through Linear B which was aligned northeast- southwest to theeast of the discreet features.43© Archaeology South-East
