Abstract/Summary
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology between July and December 2012 along the route of the proposed Corfe Mullen to Salisbury Transfer Scheme. A total of 111 trenches were excavated.
Three pits of Early Neolithic date represent the earliest activity identified. Many other features dating to the Neolithic, Bronze Age, Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age were identified, represented by pits, postholes, ditches and one or more possible burnt mounds.
The former course of a Roman road running between Dorchester and Silchester was identified. Other features dating to the Roman period comprised ditches and metalled surfaces.
Evidence for medieval, post-medieval, modern and undated agricultural activity comprising boundary ditches, holloways and lynchets was identified.
