Chilbolton Court, Winchester, Hampshire Archaeological Evaluation Report

In April 2003, Oxford Archaeology, (OA) carried out a field evaluation at Chilbolton Avenue, Winchester, Hants (NGR SU 4650 2925) on behalf of Banner Homes Limited.

The evaluation was initially programmed to consist of eleven trenches, but due to the density of trees, some of which are subject to preservation orders, it was only possible to access the proposed locations of three of the trenches. These trenches uncovered a number of disused service pipe trenches but no archaeological features. One sherd of Roman pottery was recovered. A watching brief on a service trench revealed extensive layers of imported soil overlying the natural chalk.
