Abstract: |
The results of an archaeological assessment carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. for land at 98 West Street, Corfe Castle, Dorset in advance of a proposed residential development. The site comprises an irregular-shaped field containing earthwork remains of two open field strips, also incorporating the site of a medieval burgage plot fronting West Street. It lies among a group of hedged fields on the western edge of the Later Medieval borough of Corfe, developed south of the Castle between West Street and the River Corfe; the ground rising to Corfe Common a little to the south. Earthworks of medieval strip field boundaries and later drainage channels were identified and plotted during the walkover survey, while raised ground nearer the street may indicate the sites of buildings or structures in the backs of former burgage plots. |
