SDO9473 - An Archaeological Evaluation of a Proposed Development to the Rear of 15 High East Street, Dorchester: Summary report

The archaeological evaluation of the rear of 15 High East Street comprised the excavation of 2 trial pits 1.5 m square. The work was conducted by AC Archaeology prior to the end of April 1998. These trial pits revealed evidence for Romano-British mortar and opus signinum floor levels and demolition layers of broadly 2nd-3rd century AD date. These were sealed by later Roman soil accumulation, followed by early post-medieval infilling deposits and soil accumulation. A number of modern soils, service trenches and structures were also present.
