Monument MPM1234 - Wall, Highbury Street

A substantial red-brick wall revealed during excavations in 1975. The wall ran along the the north and east sides of area 3. It probably dated to the 18th century, and was of the same structural form and dimensions as a wall revealed in area 2 (see MPM1231). The two walls were most probably part of the same structure, although there was no evidence to suggest what its function would have been.

The site is known as 'Highbury Street', although excavations took place in three areas on land between St. Thomas' Street and Highbury Street now occupied by housing centred on Hanover Court. This record relates to a post-medieval feature from 'Area 3'.

The excavation archive is held by Portsmouth Museum Service under the Accession Number 1975/323.
