SDO10151 - Knapp Mill Avenue, Christchurch, Dorset: Archaeological Evaluation

An archaeological desktop study and evaluation was undertaken on land at Knapp Mill Avenue, Christchurch in March-April 1992. The evaluation area was located adjacent to the known site of a Bronze Age burial mound and extensive prehistoric flint assemblages of Mesolithic and Neolithic date at Latch Farm, on gravels of the floodplain of the River Avon. A series of test pits and machine dug trenches produced only a handful of artefacts and no archaeological features.
