Abstract: |
Following preparation of an Archaeological Assessment report, Terrain Archaeology carried out an evaluation of the site a proposed new housing development adjacent to the Old Rectory, Hamworthy (NGR SY68889064), in July 2004. This site lies on the projected alignment of the Roman road from Hamworthy to Lake, as proposed by H. P. Smith (ref). Three trenches were excavated, one across the projected line of the Roman road, one to the south and one in the garden of the Old Rectory. No trace of the Roman road was identified and it is likely that this projected alignment of the road is not correct. A number of undated small ditches or gullies and pits were found, none on the projected Roman road alignment. A group of early 19th century ditches and pits were also found. Part of the former drive to the Old Rectory was discovered in the southern part of the site. Overall, the small number of features and artefacts encountered suggests that this area was not a focus of activity in the past. |
