Abstract/Summary

An archaeological evaluation was carried out to determine the nature and survival of potential archaeological deposits at Fosters School, Hound Street, Sherborne. A number of features of Medieval date were recorded; this included evidence for structures on the street frontage and at the rear of the site, and several pits and a possible quarry. Medieval pottery recovered from these contexts is not sufficiently diagnostic to define the activity on site more closely within the range of late twelfth to fourteen century.
