Abstract/Summary
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Hastoe Hounsing Association to undertake archaeological mitigation work comprising a topographical survey and trial trenching prior to the development of 15 houses at Thornford Road, Yetminster. Low earthworks laid in a herringbone pattern were present on the site which were first surveyed followed by the mechanical excavation of two 40m long trenches targeted on the earthworks. There were no archaeological features found. The earthworks were concluded to be part of a Catchwork Water Meadow, medieval or post-medieval, common to southern England from the 12th century to the 19th century.
