Abstract/Summary
An archaeological evaluation consisting of three machine exavated trenches was undertaken by AC archaeology on a school playing field and terraced lawns east of Barton Hill House, Shaftesbury, Dorset prior to submission of a planning application for the construction of new school accommodation. The evaluation revealed a considerable density of archaeological features within the trenches dating to the medieval period, but included pottery finds of Romano-British and Saxon date. The lower terrace contains extensive evidence for quarrying, the middle terrace possible structural remains, and the upper terrace a series of pits, postholes and a palisade all of uncertain function. In situ medieval soil horizons were also exposed in all three trenches.
