INTRODUCTION 1.1. Project Background 1.1.1. Ramboll was commissioned by Winchester City Council (hereafter ‘the client’) to assess the potential impact, by proposed development of a new leisure centre at Bar End, Winchester (hereafter ‘the site’), upon the cultural heritage resource both within, and in proximity to, the site. The site is currently in use as sports fields and a council depot and lies at the fringe of the built-up area of the city of Winchester, south of the suburb of Highcliffe (Figure 1). It is c.15ha in extent and centred on NGR 449111 128598. 1.1.2. Cultural heritage is here taken to include: • Designated assets, including Scheduled Monuments, Listed buildings and Conservation Areas; and • Undesignated assets that are of value because of their archaeological or historical interest. 1.1.3. This report has been prepared for the benefit of the client and shall not be relied upon by any other party unless that party has been granted a contractual right to rely on this report for the purpose for which it has been prepared. 1.1.4. The findings and opinions in the report are based upon information derived from a variety of information sources which Ramboll believe to be reliable. 1.1.5. This report has been prepared on the basis of the proposed end land-use defined by the client. If this proposed end land-use is changed it will be necessary to review the findings of this report. 1.1.6. It should be noted that some of the aspects considered in this study are subject to change with time. Therefore, if the development is delayed or postponed for a significant period then it should be reviewed to confirm that no changes have taken place, either at the site or within relevant legislation. 1.2. Site Location and Description 1.2.1. The site lies at the lies at the fringe of the built-up area of the city of Winchester, to the immediate south of the suburb of Highcliffe. It is bounded to the north by housing and allotments, to the east by the M3, to the south by housing and other buildings on Chilcomb Lane and to the west by Bar End road (B330). The site lies on the edge of the River Itchen floodplain at the mouth of a downland coombe and is overlooked by the high ground of St Giles’s Hill to the north and St Catherine’s Hill to the south. Ground level within the site is relatively even and falls gently from c.40m AOD in the east to c.33m AOD in the west. 1.2.2. The majority of the site is in use as sports fields. The western half of the site is known as the Garrison Ground and is occupied by football pitches and has a late 20th-century changing block near to the entrance from Bar End Road (Plate 1). The eastern half of the site is known as King George V Recreation Ground, which is used for both football and cricket and has two pavilions (Plate 2). The entrance to the King George V pitches has commemorative 1930s entrance gates (Plate 3). The two areas of sports pitches are separated by the University of Winchester athletics facility. The northwest corner of the site is a council depot consisting of structures of mid to late 20th-century date and areas 1 LAND AT BAR END, WINCHESTER CULTURAL HERITAGE ASSESSMENT of hard standing (Plates 4 - 5). The land immediately east and southwest of the site has been subject to extensive reworking associated with a series of road schemes since the 1930s. 1.2.3. The underlying solid geology of the site comprises the Zig Zag Chalk Formation. This is overlain by silty head deposits in the west of the site. These lie in the base of the coombe and are indicative of hill wash accumulating in a hollow, potentially a former watercourse (palaeochannel). Soils are well-drained and loamy. 1.3. Scheme description 1.3.1. Construction of a new leisure centre at the site is one of several options being assessed by the client for the city’s future leisure provision. As the option to be pursued has not yet been selected, there is no formal plan for the proposed facility at present. The new centre would consist of both wet and dry sports facilities and associated car and coach parking and is likely to be two-storeyed and occupy a similar footprint to the existing leisure centre at North Walls. 2 LAND AT BAR END, WINCHESTER CULTURAL HERITAGE ASSESSMENT 2. METHODOLOGY 2.1. Aims and scope 2.1.1. The aim of this assessment is to establish the known and potential cultural heritage resource within the site and its environs which may be affected by the proposed development. It has been carried out in accordance with the Institute for Archaeologists’ Standard and Guidance: archaeological desk‐based assessment (IfA 2012). Assessment of setting impacts was made in accordance with English Heritage guidance on setting (English Heritage 2011). 2.1.2. This report seeks to identify the significance of the resource, assess the likely impact of the proposed development on it and provide recommendations for any appropriate mitigation strategies. Impacts are described in terms of the development’s potential effect on the asset’s cultural significance and the extent to which it would degrade or enhance the asset’s significance. 2.2. Study Areas 2.2.1. Recorded heritage assets within a 250m buffer from the site boundary, hereafter referred to as ‘the Study Area’, were considered in order to provide context for discussion and interpretation of the site’s archaeological resource (Figure 1). 2.2.2. Potential setting impacts were assessed on all designated heritage assets lying within a Setting Study Area defined by 500m buffer from the site boundary (Figure 1). Asset categories considered in this element of the study comprised Scheduled Monuments, Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas. No further forms of designated heritage assets lie within the Study Area. 2.3. Site Visit 2.3.1. The site and environs were visited on 29th November 2013. Conditions were dry and overcast. A full digital photographic record was made of the visit and forms part of the project archive. 2.4. Sources 2.4.1. The following publicly accessible sources of primary and secondary information were consulted. Historic Environment Records 2.4.2. The site lies within the administrative area of Winchester City Council (WCC) and their Historic Environment Record (WCC HER) was consulted for data relating to the Study Area in October 2013. WCC HER entries for the Study Area are discussed, where relevant, in the Results section below. Data for Scheduled Monuments and Listed Buildings was obtained from English Heritage. Information on Conservation Areas was also obtained from the WCC HER. Designations of relevance to the assessment are discussed in the Results section below. Cartographic Sources 2.4.3. Historic mapping for this assessment was obtained from the Hampshire Record Office and online web sources. Information

The archaeology stores are located at the Museum headquarters at Chilcomb House, on the outskirts of Winchester, close to the M3 (see above). The museum collections are divided into four main areas, Archaeology, Art, Hampshire History and Natural Sciences. The Archaeology collection is already substantial, and our existing resources are committed to ongoing maintenance and improving accessibility and storage conditions for this material. In common with other services across the country, limited resources impact on our storage capacity. As such, it is important that any new accessions relate to the current collecting policy (Appendix 2). This document sets out the requirements governing the deposition of archaeological archives with the HCCAMS.

Our native wildlife continues to be threatened as habitats are damaged or destroyed. Butterflies have probably never been as endangered as they are today following decades of loss of key semi-natural habitats such as flower-rich grasslands. This report is extremely valuable and timely as it concerns an increasingly important habitat for butterflies and other insects. Road verges can help conserve butterflies and other wildlife as they are an opportunity to provide suitable breeding habitats for many species, and provide crucial links between the patches of habitat that remain. Butterflies are highly sensitive indicators of the environment and we know that conservation measures for this group will help many other less well-known components of our biodiversity. Road verges already provide valuable habitats for a wide range of species but this report shows how they can be made even better and contribute an ever more important role in the future.

    Hampshire Cultural Trust Chilcomb House, Chilcomb Lane Winchester, Hampshire SO23 8RB 01962 678140 Collections Volunteer Role Description – Accession Register transcriptions This role is in support of our collections team and will help the team locate, catalogue and exhibit objects in Hampshire Cultural Trust’s (HCT) collections. Purpose of the role The purpose of the role is to assist in the transcription into an excel document of the handwritten accession registers held by HCT. This will enable the efficient searching of the registers for objects in the collections. Background information The Hampshire Cultural Trust cares for the Hampshire County Council and Winchester City Council Museum Collections. Whilst much is on display at the trust’s venues around Hampshire, this role is primarily concerned in working with the extensive collections located in the museum stores at Chilcomb House and nearby at the F2 store and Bar End stores in Winchester. When objects are first accessioned (taken) into a museum collection basic information about the objects and where they came from are recorded in a register. In the past this was often the basic record but the records were then computerised in a database and we now rely very heavily on the database to manage the collections. With such large collections the computer records are by no means comprehensive and we sometimes have to rely on the accession registers to find objects and confirm details. However, even in pdf format we cannot conduct word searches and we have to spend lots of time looking through page after page of registers. This task will enable quick searches of the accession register and therefore better management of the collections and improved opportunities to display objects.
