Description
Monitoring of building work followed the discovery of human remains in the driveway adjacent to No 18 Coldharbour (Dorchester Museum ref. E 308).Two graves lined with limestone slabs contained unaccompanied extended inhumations with head to west, assigned generally to the Late Roman or Early medieval period. They may be part of a larger post-Roman cemetery. The graves were left in situ following recording.
