Abstract:		 The archaeological field evaluation of former playing fields and land adjacent to Hardye's School, comprised the machine excavation of fourteen trenches totalling an approximate 2.7% sample of the 7.8 ha of proposed development. The northern part of the site occupied the Alington Ridge, which was an important focus within the early prehistoric ceremonial and ritual landscape around Dorchester, as well as containing a number of Bronze Age barrows. A large number of archaeological features were identified in the evaluation; these were mostly field ditches and gullies associated with Romano-British to post-medieval field systems and possible intermittent flanking ditches for medieval field trackways. Two significant areas were identified. The first was a large curving ditch, which was identified as possibly being an outer ditch for one of the barrows. The second area was a small Romano-British rectangular enclosure. Very few artefacts were recovered from the evaluation and there was much truncation of features, largely as a result of medieval and post-medieval poughing. [Au(abr)]
