Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring during the excavation of four geotechnic test-pits in advance of the proposed construction of a new tank sewer located to the south of Preston, Dorset appeared to support the findings of the previous investigations; and combined to suggest that there was a prehistoric flint-knapping site in the vicinity of the proposed pipeline route, potentially of an early (ie Mesolithic) date. In addition, the recovery of Romano-British material, particularly towards the edge of the adjacent villa to the north, confirmed the likelihood that archaeological remains associated with that villa may have extended beyond the formal limit of the Scheduled area.
