Abstract:		 Archaeology South-East (ASE), was commissioned by CgMs Consulting, on behalf of their clients, to carry out an archaeological evaluation on land off Nottington Lane, Weymouth, Dorset. Forty-eight trial trenches were mechanically excavated, the majority of which were targeted on anomalies recorded during a preliminary geophysical survey. Two broad periods of activity were identified:- prehistoric (Later Mesolithic/Early Neolithic and Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age) and post-medieval/modern; undated features were also recorded. Three narrow ditches in the south-western part of the site perhaps represented elements of a small prehistoric coaxial field system, the tentative Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age dating of which was based on a discoidal flint scraper from one of the ditches; interestingly a significant quantity of probably residual flintwork of Mesolithic character, including a microlith, was recovered from another of the suggested field ditches. Post-medieval/modern features comprised drainage ditches and pottery drains, together with a possible area of hard-standing, all of which were probably associated with the 18th-century and later Nottington House. An undated pond in the south-west corner of the site was probably post-medieval in origin but may have been earlier.
