Abstract/Summary
An evaluation was carried out by Wessex Archaeology in advance of the building of an extension to the Magistrates' Court on the south wing of County Hall, Dorchester. Industrial activity of the 4th century AD has previously been identified in this area.
Only one area of Roman deposit was revealed, producing some large, unabraded sherds of 3rd-4th century Black Burnished Ware. Otherwise the only feature observed was an area of terracing, probably of 1930s origin and associated with the building of County Hall.
