Abstract: |
Archaeological mitigation consisting of a ‘strip, map and record’ intervention was undertaken along two parts of the route during groundworks associated with the construction of a replacement water main on land to the south-west of Gillingham in Dorset. Archaeological mitigation involved a programme of SMR in the south-eastern portion of the pipeline route. The SMR measured approximately 150m in length with a completed width of approximately 10m to 12m. A number of archaeological features were recorded during the ‘strip, map and record’ part of the investigation. These consisted of a series of gullies and ditches in the north-west part of the scheme (SMR 1). These are likely to have an agricultural origin related to field boundaries and water management. A small quantity of modern glass, pottery and animal bone was recovered from a number of the recorded features. |
