Abstract:		 The evaluation fieldwork comprised the excavation of 45 trenches: • 34no 50m x 1.8 trenches; and • 11no 25m x 1.8m trenches. The trenches were placed to test geophysical anomalies and to provide a representative sample of the remainder of the site. Trenches 43-45 were added during the evaluation, in addition to the 42 trenches outlined in the WSI. In September 2021, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation of land at Blandford Hill, Winterborne Whitechurch, Dorset. A total of 45 trenches were excavated. The artefactual assemblage and dateable features suggest a late prehistoric presence within the site, characterised by a likely Early Bronze Age phase of funerary activity, possibly overlain by a phase of Middle Bronze Age-Iron Age agricultural activity. A separate phase of funerary activity, within close proximity to the remains of a round barrow, is characterised by four proven inhumations, with a further eight possibly uncovered. The limited circumstantial evidence suggests an early medieval date for these. Further burials may feasibly be present.
