EDO5889 - New Car Port, 9 North Street, Charminster; observations and recording 2007

Observation and recording during groundworks for erection of a car port on land that was previously a garden and small allotment. No features or deposits of archaeological interest were observed. Overlying garden soil was not completely removed from the eastern half of the sloping site, possibly masking archaeological features and deposits. The author comments, however, that the location of the site on a slope in the backlands between North Street and West Hill suggests that it may never have been developed and was used as a garden from the early medieval period onwards.
