EWX754 - Dorchester Roman Aqueduct east of Quatre Bras, Bradford Peverell; excavation 1939

‘Muckleford to Whitfield Farm (SY 69 SW, SE). E. of Quatre Bras a slight terrace at the foot of Penn's Plantation grows more distinct in the belt of trees to E. and emerges as a distinct work in what was formerly Quatre Bras Eweleaze, within the reentrant and on both its shoulders. On the W. shoulder the terrace was about 30 ft. wide in 1955 including a slight outer bank, but both here and elsewhere ploughing is altering its character; it was sectioned in 1939 by K. C. C. Selby and G. E. Kirk at 64789333 (Fig. p. 586; field notebook, and some objects, in D.C.M.; J.R.S. XXX (1940), 175–6; information from Selby, section drawing and levels from W. Thorneycroft).’ <2>
