An archaeological watching brief at 14 Cumberland Place, Southampton, Hampshire (SOU1743) (OASIS ID: archaeol6-281452)

This archive presents the results of an archaeological watching brief carried out by Archaeology South-East during foundation removal, new foundation and drainage works at the site known as 14 Cumberland Place, Southampton, between 24th of February and 14th March 2017. The fieldwork was managed by RPS and was commissioned by Rame Consulting on behalf of Cumberland Place Property Company Limited in advance of a proposed 12 storey building for student occupation. The watching brief recorded the limited survival of structural elements of known buildings of late 19th century date, as well as a small pit, possibly contemporary with the construction of these buildings. No archaeological features or deposits of earlier date were identified but the area had been heavily disturbed by works in the 20th century.
