Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation and watching brief was undertaken at Lake Farm, Wimborne Dorset . Conditional planning permission including archaeology, was granted for the construction of an agricultural barn. The Site lies within a Scheduled Monument, a 1st century Roman military site containing a 16.8 hectare (vexillation) fort, although the Site itself lies outside the SE corner of the fort's defensive ditch circuit. The SM has been subject to small scale investigations and geophysical survey since the late 1950's. Scheduled Monument Consent (HSD 9/2/14217) for the work was granted prior to any fieldwork commencing. Fieldwork comprised a cross-shaped evaluation trench, within the footprint of the proposed barn. The evaluation revealed and confirmed the presence of Roman features on the Site. At a depth of 0.8m below the current ground surface a substantial ditch was uncovered. Pottery, glass and metalwork was recovered from this feature dating to the mid 1st century AD/early conquest period. The dating of this feature conformed to evidence gathered during the earlier investigations undertaken within the scheduled area. The trench also contained a small stakehole in association with a possible gully. Although no datable artefacts were recovered from these features it is reasonable to assume that they are also Roman. These results confirm the presence of archaeology within the south east corner of the scheduled area and outside the known boundary of the Roman fort itself. It was not possible to confirm whether the features revealed in the evaluation were military or associated with Vicus activity around the outskirts of the fort enclosure. A watching brief of the development groundworks did not reveal any further archaeological features or deposits.
