Full description
SOU 1232 (watching brief on underpinning groundworks at 1 Forest View in 2003):
[1]: The site lies across the location of a former natural cliff, now buried beneath later deposits. The top of the natural cliff was found approximately 9m east of the west wall of the outer bailey of Southampton Castle. The cliff was formed of natural gravel, overlain in part by natural brickearth. An early Mesolithic worked flint burin/graver was recovered from the natural gravel. Three other prehistoric worked flints were found on the site, in later deposits. None of these were closely datable.
