Abstract/Summary
An archaeological evaluation of a proposed residential development on land adjacent to 'Greenacres', Salisbury Road, Shaftesbury, Dorset was carried out by AC archaeology during November 2002. The evaluation comprised the machine excavation of trenches totalling 394m in length and each trench was 2.2m wide. A consistent sequence of layers was identified in the majority of trenches and no archaeological features or deposits were present. Also, only a small quanitity of artefacts was recovered which are of prehistoric through to modern date. It is unlikely that development on this site will impact on underlying archaeological remains.
