SDO10132 - Christchurch, New Residential Care Home, Jumpers Road. Proceedings of the Dorset Natural History and Archaeological Society

An archaeological watching brief was carried out by Terrain Aerchaeology in May and June 2005 during topsoil stripping associated with the construction of a new residential care home on Jumpers Road, Christchurch. No prehistoric or Roman features were observed and only a very small quantity of Bronze Age flint was recovered. Most of the features found on site appear to be 20th century in date and comprise the gravel bases to a number of small buildings, perhaps dating to World War II, together with two gravel paths or tracks.
