EWX2082 - Southern Print Site, Lindsay Road, Poole; evaluation 2000

Gifford and Partners carried out an archaeological evaluation on the site of the former car park of the Southern Print Works, Lindsay Road, Poole. Four trenches (in effect two T-shaped trenches) were excavated. Trenches 1a and 1b to the east revealed part of the remains of a 19th century villa that stood on the site. Trenches 2a and 2b to the west revealed a layer of soil and tree roots, remnants of the former woodland which had been cleared in the mid 20th century. The edge of a large pit containing modern demolition material was also revealed, sealed immediately below car park deposits.
