Event/Activity EPM58 - Archaeological Watching Brief at the Travellers Joy Public House, Milton Road, Milton, Portsmouth

Watching brief undertaken by Southampton Archaeology Unit at the Travellers Joy Public House, 253 Milton Road, in 2006. Observations were made on a total of thirty foundation trenches for a development of houses and flats on the site. The groundworks exposed natural deposits, uncertain post-medieval layers, early modern layers, and modern contexts. Natural deposits were 0.4m below the surface, above which were two uncertain post-medieval layers with fragments of brick. Modern features comprised two soakaways, and brick surface and a foundation trench for a garage. Medieval Milton was not identified at the site due to modern disturbance. Accession number: 2006/1629
