Abstract: |
Planning permission was granted for the 'Installation and operation of a solar farm and associated infrastructure' on land at Canada Farm, Winterborne Stickland, Blandford Forum, Dorset, centred on NGR: ST 851 049. A condition attached to the grant of permission stipulated the need for a programme of archaeological fieldwork together with post-excavation work and the publication of the results (as presented in this here). Previous site evaluations, including an archaeological desk-based assessment, geophysical survey and trial trenching revealed remains in the form of likely prehistoric features, a possible medieval boundary ditch crossing the site and potential settlement remains in the south-eastern corner of the site. This excavation focused around areas of archaeological potential that had been highlighted during the scheme of trial trenching earlier in the year. Two large areas were opened; the first around Trench 1, and the second in between Trench 5 and 6. A smaller area was excavated around Trench 13, and then four small 10m x 2m trenches were excavated in order to track the potential medieval boundary ditch running across the site. |
