Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out by Terrain Archaeology in September 2009, during groundworks associated with the refeurbishment and modification of SCATS Countrystore, Grove Trading Estate, Dorchester, Dorset (SY68619112). The site forms part a designated Scheduled Monument and lies immediately adjacent to areas previously subjected to large-scale archaeological excavation in 1970-72. Two areas on the east side of the SCATS store were investigated. An Early or Middle Iron Age pit and three Late Iron Age and Romano-British ditches were recorded, two of which perpetuated the alignments of features excavated in 1970-72. These were sealed by a thin agricultural soil which was, in turn, cut by a stone footing, believed to be of later Roman date. |
