SDO14676 - Land at Knighton Lane, Broadmayne, Dorset. Archaeological Field Evaluation

‘Terrain Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation of a plot of land immediately east of Knighton Lane, Broadmayne, West Dorset. Two 20m trenches were excavated, investigating a sample of approximately 5% of the site. The site is bisected by a low north-south linear earthwork bank and terrace, which was shown to be natural in origin, although it had probably continued to influence later land use. Medieval features comprising a ditch, a possible pit and a trackway were found east of this bank. In the western part of the site, two undated features, a shallow sub-rectangular pit and a shallow ditch were found. Overall, the medieval and other remains within the site have been assessed against nationally recognised criteria as being of potentially medium significance.’
