Full Description
March 2011. Bore hole survey.
Details to come.
S. Howard (HES), 5 May 2011.
February 2025. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of part of large proposed development site (Field 3; Trenches 35-54).
The 20 trenches excavated at this location revealed little in the way of archaeologically-significant remains, with only a small number of ditches recorded. None of these ditches produced any dating evidence, although one north-north-east to south-south-west aligned feature was likely associated with a former field boundary shown on the Wereham Tithe map (S1). All but one of the other ditches were also aligned north-north-east to south-south-west and unlikely to have been of great antiquity. A sample taken from one of these features contained waterlogged plant remains, along with a limited amount of charcoal and fragments of charred culm nodes and stem fragments.
No unstratified finds were recovered.
See report (S2) for further details.
P. Watkins (HES), 8 April 2026.
