SDO15254 - Land at Verne Common Road, Fortuneswell, Portland, Dorset. Archaeological Field Evaluation

'Terrain Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation of the proposed site of eight new houses on land off Verne Common Road, Fortuneswell, Portland, Dorset. Four trenches were excavated, investigating a sample of approximately 5% of the proposed development area of the site. No buried archaeology was revealed. A number of low earthworks have been identified on the site and these were shown to be ephemeral, probably modern, features, other than a mid nineteenth century boundary bank. A scatter of unstratified flint and chert was also recovered.'
