'Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Tim Pantlin to undertake an archaeological evaluation on land at 6 Church Street, Wimborne Minster, Dorset, [NGR 400881 100000]in advance of construction of new housing on the site. The site lay in the historic centre of Wimborne Minster. The work was carried out on 22nd January 2009. A single evaluation trench measuring 3m by 1.3m was excavated within the footprint of the proposed development. A narrow gully was revealed within the trench, at a depth of 1.2m below ground level. The feature contained animal bone, flecks of ceramic building material and a single piece of burnt flint, but was not dateable. No other features were identified, nor finds recovered from within the evaluation trench.'
