Abstract: |
A watching brief was undertaken by Terrain Archaeology during the replacement of the retaining wall of the West Dorset District Council car park in Colliton Street, Dorchester (SY 6917 9079) in January/February 1999. About 0.6 m of Roman stratigraphy was revealed. At the southern end of the site, a number of small pits, probably dating to the 1st - 2nd century AD, were sealed below a rammed chalk floor of probable 2nd century date. The northern part of this surface was cut by several post-holes. At the northern end of the site were three small hearths. A number of later Roman pits were also revealed. |
