The work was commissioned by Mr Russell Kent of Hampshire Homes Group, 8 Chatmohr Estate, Crawley Hill, Romsey, Hampshire, SO51 6AP. Planning permission (16/01605/FUL) has been granted by Southampton City Council for the demolition of the existing school to be replaced with residential buildings and associated car parking and open space. The consent is subject to conditions (29 to 33) relating to archaeology. This is in accordance with the Department for Communities and Local Government’s National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF 2012), and the City’s policies on archaeology. As a requirement of the planning consent, and as consequence of the possibility of archaeological deposits on the site which may be damaged or destroyed by groundworks a field evaluation was required, based on the results of which, further mitigation might be required. The field investigation was carried out to a specification approved by Ms Ingrid Peckham, Historic Environment Record Officer of Southampton City Council. The fieldwork was undertaken by David Sanchez, Danielle Milbank and Benedikt Tebbit in two phases between 30th June and 11th July 2017 and the site code is SOU 1748. The TVAS project code is WSS 17/53. The archive is presently held at Thames Valley Archaeological Services, Reading and will be deposited at Southampton City Museum in due course. Location, topography and geology The site is located at the junction of Station Road with Porchester Road and Portsmouth Road (A3025) in the Woolston area of Southampton (Fig. 1). It is bounded by the three roads with houses fronting onto Portsmouth and Porchester Roads forming the western boundary (Fig. 2). To the north of Porchester Road is located the railway line with Sholing Station located immediately to the east of the site. The local topography of the area of the site is fairly flat lying at approximately 26m above Ordnance Datum and the underlying geology has been mapped as Plateau Gravel (BGS 1973). More recent editions (BGS online map viewer) suggest the bedrock 1 geology is Earnley Sand Formation - Sand, Silt and Clay with overlying superficial deposits of River Terrace (sand and gravel). The geology observed on site during the evaluation consisted of clay and gravel deposits. Archaeological background A previous watching brief on an extension to the school along Station Road (SOU 1097) revealed pits, ditches and post holes, mainly of Medieval date and residual finds consisting of a prehistoric flint tool and two sherds of Roman pottery. A dark soil layer covered the site. At the western end of the site was found the remains of a probable WWII air raid shelter (Smith 2001). Building recording undertaken at a previous stage of the current archaeological investigation (Elliott 2017) showed that much of the original building, dating from around 1920, was intact. However plans from the 1940s show a number of repairs and alterations to the school, possibly a result of bomb damage. Minor changes were shown in the plans from the 1960s and further minor changes have occurred in the intervening years. More generally, the site lies within a landscape of a number of prehistoric, Bronze Age, Roman, Saxon and medieval finds, with more extensive post-medieval monuments recorded in the city council’s historic environment record (HER), as summarized below. Natural Natural features consisting of a former stream and possibly other old watercourses or periglacial disturbances have been found to the east and north of the site at 51a Victoria Road (SOU 1279, MSH 2435) and 269a Spring Road (MSH 2751, SOU 1243). Natural deposits including peat and a possible early riverbed or beach were identified in boreholes for the Itchen Bridge (MSH 1442). Prehistoric A number of prehistoric finds, mainly consisting of flint have been found within the vicinity of the site: a Palaeolithic flint flake near Woolston Station (MSH 284); a Neolithic polished flint axe (MSH 386) and a Palaeolithic handaxe (MSH 387) near Sholing Station; a lower Palaeolithic handaxe from Butts Road (MSH 423); and two Palaeolithic handaxes from Spring Road (MSH 507, MSH 508). A further eight Palaeolithic handaxes, three flint flakes (MSH 531) and three Mesolithic flint blades and a core (MSH 532) are only provenanced to the Woolston area in general. Along Weston Shore a soil layer containing burnt and worked flints as well as a sherd of Bronze Age pottery has been interpreted as a prehistoric land surface (SOU 834, SOU 1371, MSH 1006). Bronze Age Only a few entries of Bronze Age date are present on the HER, these consist of a rapier found during dredging at 2 Shamrock Quay (MSH 288) and to the north-west of the site, on Poole Road, a hoard of 41 bronze palstaves was found in 1898 (MSH 388). Roman Roman finds are generally residual within the more immediate vicinity of the proposal site such as that found at Tickleford Drive to the south-east, suggesting a possible Roman settlement (SOU 471, MSH 1864), a coin of Antonius Pius (MSH 3600) to the south-west and tile fragments at 350 Portsmouth Road (MSH 407) to the east. The route of the Roman road between Clausentum (Bitterne Manor) and Noviomagus (Chichester) (MSH 550) is located to the north of the site. Saxon Saxon archaeology is mainly lacking but there is documentary evidence. Woolston is mentioned in Domesday Book as Olvestune (MSH 2958) and the village of Weston is mentioned in an Anglo-Saxon charter, however it is not specifically mentioned in Domesday Book (MSH 1647). Sea Road, to the west of the site appears to mark the boundary of the pre-Conquest estate at South Stoneham, however no ditches were found to the south of the road during an evaluation (SOU 1416, MSH 5609). A small pit containing 10th-11th century pottery was found to the east of the site at 350 Portsmouth Road (MSH 407). Medieval The former village of Itchen or the Itchen ferry may have been mentioned in a document dated to 1372 and the ferry crossing is mentioned in a grant dated 1441. The village is shown on a map dating to c.1560 (MSH 2958). Weston aqueduct may have supplied water to Netley Abbey (MSH 3427). Netley Abbey is a late medieval Cistercian monastery founded in 1239. The aqueduct and catchment area are Scheduled. Post Medieval The majority of the entries within the HER for the environs of the site relate to the post medieval period, mainly relating to buildings, however a number also relate to below ground remains. Within Mayfield Park, to the south of the site, Weston Mill was built around 1762 and subsequently replaced by Oldmill House in the 19th century (SOU 645, MSH 1846). Also within Mayfield Park, was the former carriageway/approach road to Weston Grove House, built in 1801 (SOU 547, SOU 645, SOU 795, MSH 1850), a George III silver sixpence was found near the carriageway (MSH 406). In the Weston area are recorded the remains of a possible cart track and/or breakwaters at Weston Shore dating to the mid 19th century (SOU 834, SOU 1371, MSH 1005). A gravel pit visible on early Ordnance Survey maps is located at Weston Point (MSH 5190) as well as remains of a stone sea wall containing medieval masonry and floor tiles; maps suggest the associated road was built in the 1840s (SOU 1371, MSH 4953). At the former Sun Inn a thick soil layer, a posthole and linear feature area all likely to date to the post-medieval or early 3 modern period (SOU 1438, MSH 2894). To the west of the site are possible estuarine/beach deposits as well as reclamation deposits observed in Wharf Road (SOU 647.

In Britain, as in their other provinces, the Romans constructed a comprehensive network of paved trunk roads (i.e. surfaced highways) during their nearly four centuries of occupation (43 - 410 AD). This article focuses on the ca. 2,000 mi (3,200 km) of Roman roads in Britain shown on the Ordnance Survey's Map of Roman Britain.[1] This contains the most accurate and up-to-date layout of certain and probable routes that is readily available to the general public. The pre-Roman Britons used mostly unpaved trackways for their communications, including very ancient ones running along elevated ridges of hills, such as the South Downs Way, now a public long-distance footpath.

G S. fFITH LARGE CHART OF THE ROMAN ROADS AND SMALL MAPS IN THE TEXT REPRINT OF THIRD EDITION LONDON SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE NEW YORK: THE MACMILLAN COMPANY 1919 . • r r 11 'X/^i-r * ' Ci First Edition^ 1903 Second Edition, Revised, 1905 Tliird Edition, Revised, 1918 (.Reprint), 19 „ ,, 19 PREFACE The following attempt to describe the Roman roads of Britain originated in observations made in all parts of the country as opportunities presented themselves to me from time to time. On turning to other sources of information, the curious fact appeared that for a century past the litera- ture of the subject has been widely influenced by the spurious Itinerary attributed to Richard of Cirencester. Though that was long ago shown to be a forgery, statements derived from it, and suppositions founded upon them, are continually repeated, casting suspicion sometimes unde- served on accounts which prove to be otherwise accurate. A wide publicity, and some semblance of authority, have been given to imaginary roads and stations by the new Ordnance maps. Those who early in the last century, under the influence of the new Itinerary, traced the Roman roads, unfortunately left but scanty accounts of the remains which came under their notice, many of which have since been destroyed or covered up in the making of modern roads; and with the evidence now available few Roman roads can be traced continuously. The gaps can often be filled with reasonable certainty, but more often the precise course is doubtful, and the entire course of some roads connecting known stations of the Itinerary of Antonine can only be guessed at.

  • Denis a Nicole
    New Schools in the East and west of Southampton Summary The City Council is currently deciding a competition between bidders vying to run two new secondary schools which will replace Grove Park, Millbrook, Oaklands and Woolston schools. It is a rather sad story and I would counsel against two pairs of proposals, those from the Southampton Education Trust and from the United Learning Trust. I would also suggest caution over the bids from Oasis Community Learning, although I believe they are unambiguously the best on offer. Schools Background Southampton’s secondary schools are not very good. Perhaps the best up‐to‐ date indicators are the number of 2006 school leavers who gained good (A‐C) GCSEs in Maths and English—minimal skills for twenty-first century employment—and the percentage of leavers not in education, employment or training. The data1 makes depressing reading: GCSE English & NEET 2005 Maths 2006 St Anne's Catholic School (girls) 70% 1% Regents Park Community College (girls) 56% 7% The Sholing Technology College (girls) 52% 5% England Average 48.20% Southern Area Average 7% Bitterne Park School 47% 10% Cantell Maths and Computing College 47% 14% St George Catholic School for Boys 35% 5% Woolston School Language College 34% 10% Bellemoor School (boys) 31% 8% Redbridge Community School 30% 16% Grove Park Business and Enterprise College (boys) 23% 11% Chamberlayne Park School 19% 14% Woodlands Community College 18% 19% Oaklands Community School 17% 20% Millbrook Community School 16% 21% Parental confidence in the schools also tells

The visit was the first monitoring inspection in connection with the academies initiative. Evidence Inspectors observed the academy’s work including 24 parts of lessons. A range of documentation was scrutinised and meetings were held with the Principal, other leaders, groups of students and governors. A discussion with the academy’s education adviser from the Department of Children, Schools and Families was conducted on the telephone. Context Oasis Academy Mayfield is an 11-16, mixed secondary school with 879 students on roll. Specialism in global communications is at an early stage of development. Most students are from White British backgrounds and very few speak English as an additional language. There are far more boys than girls. The number of students eligible for free school meals is broadly average. An above average number of students have learning difficulties and/or disabilities. There was considerable resistance to the closure of the two predecessor schools, Woolston School Language College and Grove Park Business and Enterprise College.

It is also one of the most interesting of the counties, from the importance in early English history of its charming capital, the architectural value of its Cathedral and three of its other churches, its beautiful combinations of woodland and sea, its possession of more genuine forest than all the rest of England put together, and its chief place in the naval position of England, owing to the two great harbours afforded by its fortunate coast-line. To an editor of Memorials of Old Hampshire the first difficulty, therefore, is clearly of selection. It would not be difficult to imagine another volume of the present size made up only of those subjects that—for one reason or another—I have been obliged to pass over.
