Abstract: |
In September 2018, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation at the site of the proposed Canford Park development on land north of Bearwood, Poole, Dorset. The evaluation fieldwork comprised the excavation of 33 trenches. The evaluation identified several ditches and a single pit at the site. These were generally concentrated in the north-eastern part of the site, although there were a small number of features scattered in the remainder of the site. The ditches in the north-eastern part of the site correspond closely to enclosure-type anomalies recorded by a previous geophysical survey. Relatively large quantities of Late Iron Age/Roman material were recovered from these ditches. Associated deposits were suggestive of domestic waste, indicating that the ditches in the north-eastern area of the site are part of a Late Iron Age enclosed settlement. A further pit and five ditches were undated. These ditches are on the same broad alignment as both the Late Iron Age/Roman ditches recorded in the north-eastern part of the site and the historic field boundaries. As such, their provenance is uncertain. |
