Abstract

In the first half of 2003, Oxford Archaeology (OA) carried out an extended archaeological watching brief during construction work for a new 11-km long gas pipeline through Surrey and a part of Hampshire. The new pipeline extends from Millbridge near Frensham (at NGR SU 849 423) to an existing gas holder station in Aldershot (NGR SU 881 501). The work was commissioned by RSKENSR Environment Ltd on behalf of Transco.

The watching brief revealed a pit that was clearly associated with a ditch, which dated to the later part of the Bronze Age period. Five further pits were discovered, as was a further undated ditch feature. Of the pits, four were thought to be post-medieval in date, the other one was undated. The remaining ditch was clearly a modern feature. OA extends its thanks to the Grahams of the local society who provided extra watching brief cover during the project.
