Event/Activity EPM60 - Archaeological watching brief at 150-156 Fratton Road, Portsmouth

Watching brief undertaken by Southampton City Council Archaeology Unit in association with the construction of new housing units at 150-156 Fratton Road in 2007. A total of 27 trenches were monitored. Archaeological evidence consisted of two pits dating to the 16th- 17th centuries. Finds included pottery, clay pipe, oyster shells, roof tiles and a stoneware bottle. Although the site is located in a north-south strip along Fratton Road believed to cover an area of medieval settlement, no evidence dating to this period was found. Accession number: 2007/12
