Abstract:		 A second stage of evaluation, comprising the excavation of trial trenches, was undertaken along the proposed route of a road improvements scheme. The evaluation confirmed the presence of deep deposits of alluvium on the northern edge of the Winterborne Valley, with sporadic and shallow deposits of colluvium in the valley at West End. Features identified on the postulated route of the Roman Road from Badbury Rings to Dorchester included an undated ditch and several features, unrelated to the road and representing possible Late Bronze Age activity. At Park Hil the presence of a later prehistoric (Late Bronze Age and earlier Iron Age) enclosure was confirmed including a V-profiled ditch and internal features. A Bronze Age ring ditch and ditches and pits representing Romano-British activity were identified at Littleton Drove. [AIP]
