SDO15864 - Land on Hospital Lane, Sherborne, Dorset, Results of an archaeological trench evaluation

An archaeological trench evaluation was undertaken in support of a planing application for a private dwelling. Post-medieval soil-cut features and an underlying soil horizon of medieval or earlier date were found. The former features were likely to be associated with the dumping of refuse ie former rubbish pits. Artefacts collected included ceramics of 17th to 19th century date and earlier pottery of 12th to 14th century date.
