SDO14664 - New road junction and water storage area, Barton Farm, Sherborne, Dorset. Results of archaeological trench evaluation

‘A trench evaluation was undertaken by AC archaeology on land at Barton Farm, Sherborne, Dorset (NGR: ST625167), during November 2014. The work was undertaken as part of a programme of archaeological works required as a condition of planning permission for a proposed road access and surface water storage pond. The trench evaluation consisted of three machine-excavated trenches. All three trenches were positioned to target anomalies identified by a previously undertaken geophysical survey. None of the geophysical anomalies proved to be archaeological in nature, with no archaeological deposits or artefacts present in any of the trenches.’
