Abstract: |
An evaluation of the brown route option of the A354-A353 Dorchester to Weymouth road improvement was undertaken. The evaluation identified the possibility of in situ survival of archaeological remains of Neolithic, Bronze Age, later prehistoric and Romano-British activity on Southdown Ridge, revealed part of a lynchet on The Knoll, recorded two Late Neolithic pits on Ridgeway Hill, revealed the ditch of a barrow forming part of the Ridgeway Hill barrow cemetery group and parts of an ancient field system, and identified limited evidence for the Roman road from Dorchester to Radipole.
