SDO16256 - Christchurch Primary School, Fairmile, Christchurch, Dorset. Archaeological Evaluation

‘CFA Archaeology Ltd carried out an archaeological evaluation for Dorset County Council Estates on proposed new school development site, on land off the Marsh Lane, Christchurch, Dorset (centred on SZ 152 946). The Site is located in north-eastern part of Christchurch, and consists of grazing lands and former quarries, bounded west by Marsh Lane and settling tanks for a water company to the east. Six trenches were excavated revealing shallow plough-truncated linear ditches aligned north-east to south-west in the central part of the Site and a single ditch, similarly aligned, to the north. No dating evidence or organic material was encountered in any of the features and they are thought to possibly be the remains of medieval or post-medieval land division or modern cultivation.’
