Abstract:		 This report details the results of archaeological excavations and watching brief on the site of Victoria House, Victoria Road, Winchester, Hampshire . The was commissioned by Winchester City Council and was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd (PCA) between the 20th of July and 14th of August 2015 and the watching brief was subsequently carried out between the 13th and 16th of June 2016, prior to the development of the Site. The Site is located in an area known to be the location of Winchester's northern extra-mural cemetery. Previous excavations of the site uncovered 112 inhumations dating from the 3rd century to the 5th century. A total of 16 grave cuts were identified throughout the excavation and watching brief. Twelve of these contained in situ human remains, two were empty graves and another two appeared to have been excavated during the previous archaeological investigations of the Site. 15 individuals were identified, comprising 13 articulated burials and two examples of disarticulated remains. All but one of the graves were orientated on an east/west alignment, with any articulated remains supine and extended. The exception, was a grave on a north-east/south-west alignment, with a prone burial in the poorly cut, shallow grave. Although no grave goods were found, a coin of Valentinian was found in the backfill of one of the graves, dating to the mid to late 4th century. A ditch was identified close to the western boundary of the Site, which contained a small amount of late Roman pottery. All burials were found to the east of the ditch, possibly indicating that there was an internal boundary or division within the cemetery. The excavations at Victoria House, Victoria Road, Winchester, have uncovered a small group of inhumations that form part of a group of burials found in previous archaeological investigations of the Site and the wider Roman cemeteries of Winchester.
