Abstract:		 John Moore Heritage Services conducted a watching brief during ground reduction in advance of extensions to 24 Manor Farm Rd, Dorchester-on Thames (NGR: SU 57981 94305). A total of six site visits were made intermittently over the period from 29th November 2010 to 10th January 2011. The monitored groundworks involved initial topsoil stripping followed by excavation of wall footing trenches up to 1m in depth from present ground levels. To the rear of the property Roman pits were encountered and a compacted surface with an overlying Roman occupation soil containing pottery sherds and animal bones dating from the immediate post Roman conquest. Above the occupation soil was a thick heterogeneous layer containing stones and flint nodules thought to be Roman building material. One post-medieval pit was also discovered cutting through a Roman pit. At the front of the property a new porch, wall footing trenches for a new utility room and service trenching connected to a new soakaway revealed further pits, gullies and a posthole all of early Roman date with a notable large quantity of 1st Century AD pottery from the fill of the pit in the service trench. Limited interpretations can be made as to the function of the site due to the nature of the small excavations, but it would seem probable that this area was part of the extra-mural Roman settlement of Dorchester, not previously thought to have extended this far east of the town.
