EWX1515 - St Johns Hill, Wareham; observations and recording 1993

'An archaeological watching brief was carried out in May and June 1993 at St John's Hill, Wareham during the excavation of trenches for foundation pads for a new housing development…this followed an evaluation of the site…in July 1992. The monitoring of the trenches revealed a general sequence comprising: upper levels of probable eighteenth or nineteenth century building footings, particularly on the Church Lane and St. John's Hill street frontages where cellars were present, above a deep black soil deposit of possible post-Medieval date. This overlay a deposit of brown sand through which several features of post-medieval and medieval date were cut.' [1]
