Abstract: |
A series of slight earthworks to the south-east of the village of Durweston were mapped in advance of the insertion of a pipeline across them. In addition, archaeological observations were carried out during topsoil stripping and the digging of the water-pipe trench itself. The earthworks formed a series of small enclosures, probably of medieval date and belonging to the old village of Knighton, which was absorbed into the present parish of Durweston in the 14th century. The observations did not uncover any further archaeological features. Finds were recovered primarily of medieval pottery of generally 12th to 14th century date. Other finds included worked flint, a single piece of Roman roof-tile, and animal bone. [Au(abr)] |
