Powerline Pole Replacement Froxfield Green Near Petersfield Hampshire

In February 2013 Oxford Archaeology carried out an archaeological watching brief
during the replacement of two overhead powerline poles within the boundary of a
scheduled monument known as Froxfield Entrenchments (HA 42 and HA 1003786),
located to the west and south of Froxfield Green Village, near Petersfield,
Hampshire. The watching brief was completed under the conditions of a Scheduled
Monument Consent (English Heritage ref: S00047531).
During the replacement of the southern pole the edge profile of a ditch that formed
part of the monument was observed. The excavation for the pole replacement only
impacted upon a modern infill within the upper part of this ditch where the existing
farm track crossing had been constructed across the earthwork. No archaeological
stratigraphy was observed during the replacement of the northern pole.
