20 St. Peter Street Winchester Hampshire. Archaeological Watching Brief.

Between January and April 2002 Oxford Archaeology carried out an extended archaeological watching brief at 20 St Peter Street, Winchester, Hampshire (NGR SU 4817 2973). The work was commissioned by Thomas and Co. Architects of Hungerford in advance of the re-development of the former District Audit Office into flats, with the construction of new dwellings to the front and rear of the site.
The watching brief revealed a section of truncated stratigraphy comprising probable floor deposits sealed beneath destruction layers that were regrettably undated. A disturbed archaeological horizon also of uncertain date was seen to be cut by a stone-lined well and two? Pits but none of these were dated. A Watching Brief on piling for foundations with associated service trenches at the rear of 20 St Peter Street revealed no archaeological features or finds.
