Abstract:		 Six machine trenches were excavated by Terrain Archaeology to evaluate a parcel of land adjacent to Southwell Business Park, off Sweethill Road, Southwell, Portland (centred on SY683700), during March 2002. The evaluation revealed data on the medieval and post-medieval landuse of the area. During the medieval period, the whole of the site was in open fields and a number of lawnsheds were still visible as earthworks. The eastern half of the site was enclosed in the late 18th century and remnants of stone walls of two closes were investigated. In addition, residual worked chert of Mesolithic date was recovered from the southern side of the site and there was a more widespread scatter of residual Late Neolithic/Bronze Age chert across the whole of the field. Almost all the pottery recovered was also residual and ranged in date from the Early Iron Age to the post-medieval period. The Iron Age pottery was widely scattered but the Roman material was concentrated in the southeast corner of the site. Evidence for the dumping of a large amount of spoil from landscaping associated with the construction of the former Admiralty buildings was found in the southwestern part of the site. The evaluation was commissioned by Phil Laming and Sons Ltd. Peter Bellamy
