| Abstract: |
Two test pits were dug in front of the south-facing frontage of the Trumpet Major public house, Dorchester. The work arose as the result of a proposal to extend a conservatory. An evaluation at the site in 1987 uncovered eight skeletons, undated but considered likely to be of Roman date, and related to a nearby occupation site. The investigations demonstrated that the areas of the intended footings trench were largely disturbed to depths approaching or beyond 700mm below the existing ground level. The implication was that any archaeological remains had been totally removed, although it was considered possible that pockets of survival might occur in those areas not examined. [Au(adp)] |
