Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation by trial trenching was carried out on the site of a proposed housing development at the rear of 20/21 North Square, Dorchester in March 1995. Much of the area was shown to have been occupied by cellared buildings in the 19th century. In those areas the potential for survival of archaeological deposits was considered to be remote. Previous records, made during the construction of an office block in 1977, showed the presence of a substantial ditch of Roman date. Further elements of that feature may have survived on the site, but were not crossed by the evaluation trench. No positive evidence for features or finds of archaeological interest was found on the site, but a highly localised area of deposits was observed, which may have been of medieval or earlier date.
