Description

‘Terrain Archaeology observed the excavation of the footings trenches for a new extension to 6 All Saints Road, Dorchester. A series of four small undated ditches were recorded, which may relate to medieval or later agricultural or gardening activity. A small concentration of Roman flue tile and a mortarium base were found at the base of the garden soil and may have been derived from the Roman town house found in All Saints Road at the end of the nineteenth century.’
