Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out in September 2001 during works on the east side of Rigler Road, Hamworthy (SZ00139048). Two large parallel ditches oriented NE/SW, were revealed. These are similar in size and nature to the Roman military defensive ditches revealed by Terrain Archaeology at Shapwick Road, Hamworthy (Dorset Proceedings 122, 164). These two sites have now fixed the position and orientation of the western and southern sides of the defences of a possible Roman military supply base on the peninsula. The ditches were filled in by the early 2nd century AD. The scarcity of finds suggests that this was not a densely occupied part of the peninsula during the Roman period. No evidence of the Civil War fort thought to lie in the Rigler Road area was discovered. |
