Description
Terrain Archaeology was commissioned by Dorset County Council to undertake archaeological observations and recording during topsoil stripping associated with the construction of a new residential care home on Jumpers Road, Christchurch during May-June 2005.
No prehistoric or Roman features were observed and only a very small quantity of Bronze Age flint was recovered. Most of the features found on site appear to be 20th century in date and comprise the gravel bases to a number of small buildings, perhaps of World War II vintage, together with two gravel paths or tracks.
