Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Lewis Wyatt (Construction) Ltd - Wyatt Homes ('the client'), to undertake an archaeological evaluation of a c. 35 ha parcel of land located to the north-east of Blandford Forum, Dorset, centred on NGR 390036 107652. The evaluation formed part of an ongoing programme of archaeological works undertaken to support a proposed planning application submitted to North Dorset District Council for a residential led development. The evaluation comprised of the excavation of 21 no 50m x 2m trenches targeted on the results of a geophysical survey as well as providing a random sample of the site. The evaluation revealed a small number of archaeological features, mainly in the eastern part of the Site, and confirmed the results of the geophysical survey in indicating a low potential for the presence of archaeological remains. Although only a very limited amount of archaeology identified during the course of the evaluation a pair of pits recorded in Trench 8 are of particular interest due to the recovery from both features of a good quantity of Middle Neolithic decorated Peterborough Ware pottery. Whilst no further evidence was immediately identified within the trench footprint of activity dating to this period, it is not to preclude that further features, which may provide an indication of the type of activity being undertaken, lie within the immediate vicinity of the trench. The only other notable evidence recorded was within Trenches 2 and 3 where a ditch dating to the Iron Age period was recorded and is maybe an indication of a field system boundary system dating to this period. The archaeological evaluation was undertaken from the 5th to 9th November 2018
