Abstract:		 Observation and recording of seven geotechnical trial pits took place at the site of Dorchester Market. Trial Pit 2 contained one definite and two probable graves of the Romano-British period. The possible cemetery indicated by current work and previous observations was defined by the negative results from Trial Pits 5 & 6, areas of probable undisturbed deposit sequences. Within Trial Pit 3, a large ditch was revealed, Roman pottery, a ceramic roof tie and a box flue tile were recovered. Finds which may have indicated the presence of a Romano-British building somewhere in the vicinity, although no direct evidence was found for the structure previously observed beneath the site. Given the small area exposed within the trial pits, it was possible that further archaeological remains lay in-situ beneath the market site.[Au(abr)]
