Abstract: |
An archaeological investigation was undertaken by AC Archaeology Ltd, on land east of Winters Lane, Portesham, Dorset during October 2019. The investigation comprised two machine-excavated trial trenches located across an east to west aligned linear bank, considered to be a possible lynchet. Trench 1 revealed no evidence for a bank, other than a localised soil accumulation, while Trench 2 exposed a buried subsoil horizon, beneath a clay bank, visible as a linear feature running to the east. The absence of a negative lynchet, in either trench, associated with the linear feature, indicates that the feature is unlikely to have been formed by cultivation and appears simply to be an earthen mound of an undetermined function, nature and date. No subsoil archaeological features or artefacts were present in either trench. |
