Abstract:		 Terrain Archaeology was commissioned by Signpost Housing Association to carry out an archaeological evaluation of the former St John Ambulance Hall, North Square, Dorchester (SY 6932 9086), during February 2000. Four hand-dug test pits were excavated. Roman levels were only encountered in a single test pit on the Friary Lane frontage. Here, part of a mortared flint and limestone wall was exposed. A later Roman chalk surface covered the remains of this wall. The remains of two successive post-medieval buildings fronting on to Friary Lane were also discovered. In the corner of North Square and Friary Lane, all archaeological deposits had been destroyed by cellaring. To the east of the hall, at the rear of the property, 19th century deposits over 1.6 m deep were encountered, indicating there had been substantial landscaping of this area. Following the evaluation, a small watching brief was carried out in March 2000 during the re-excavation of two of the test pits. No new in situ deposits were disturbed in Trench 2 but deposits encountered in Trench 4 might indicate that it is located above a large feature encountered at a depth of 1.6m in an area of substantial 19th century landscaping.
