Abstract: |
Archaeological investigations, consisting of the machine-excavation of seven trenches, on land west of Roman Road and North of Spa Road, Weymouth, Dorset (SY 66931 181396) were undertaken by AC archaeology Ltd during September 2019. The investigation was undertaken ahead of the determination of a planning application for the construction of twelve new detached and semi-detached houses, along with ten 1-2-bedroom flats with associated access road, parking and landscaping. The investigation area has been subject to a previous Magnetometer Survey. Of the trenches excavated across the site, three revealed evidence for archaeological deposits (Trenches 4-6). This activity comprised middle to late Iron Age and Romano-British cut features, spanning the period 3rd century BC through to the 4th century AD. The features were present on a higher and level piece of land within the eastern and south-eastern extent of the application area (Fig. 1). With the exception of two linear features revealed in two of the trenches (Trenches 4 and 6) and recorded on the geophysical survey, none of the remaining archaeological activity on the site was evident on the geophysical survey results. |
