Abstract/Summary

An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during construction of the Ryall to Charmouth water main (c. 5km) by Wessex Water between March and May 1991. Overall a low level of archaeological deposits and finds was recorded. The main area of interest was that part of the route running close to Berne Farm, the site of a former Manor House, where possible low earthworks were detected. Elsewhere, few archaeological deposits were affected by the construction of the pipeline.
