Fareham South ward Councillor Nick Gregory said he had not been contacted by any residents or organisations in the area regarding the encampment.
He said: ‘I’m sure the council is working on the issue.’
The latest incursion follows a long series of encampments across the area.
In March, Portchester precinct car park was occupied by a 'massive' traveller encampment.
In 2020, an illegal encampment in Wicor Recreation Ground cost the council £3,655 - with 12 tonnes of waste to clean up.
