SDO105 - Proposed Extension to the County Repair Depot, Wanchard Lane, Charminster, Dorset (SY67559315). Results of Archaeological Evaluation.

An archaeological evaluation on land immediately to the north of the Dorset County Council maintenance and repair depot, Charminster, Dorset (SY67559315) was carried out by AC archaeology during September 2002. Nine trenches totalling 150m in length were machine-excavated across the site, some targeting anomalies identified during an earlier geophysical survey, while others were positioned to provide representative coverage. No archaeological features were identified, although small quantities of prehistoric, Romano-British and post-medieval finds were recovered from topsoil and subsoil contexts.
