SDO15228 - Sports Centre, Bryanston School, Blandford Forum, Dorset. Results of Archaeological Investigations June 2016

‘An archaeological evaluation, consisting of two machine-excavated trenches, was undertaken by AC archaeology Ltd. immediately to the west of the existing Sports Centre, at Bryanston School, Dorset. The investigation was undertaken on 30th June 2016, in support of a planning application for an extension to the existing building. The evaluation identified no deposits or features of an archaeological origin. The results of the evaluation suggest that, although Romano-British and prehistoric settlement evidence is present to the immediate east and west, the application area appears to be devoid of such activity. The line of a proposed cable trench was also undertaken as part of the same investigations; the results of this also provided no evidence for subsurface features or artefacts.’
