SDO20813 - 2b-2c Salisbury Street, Dorchester, Dorset. Archaeological Observations and Recording, August 2019 – September 2020

‘Terrain Archaeology carried out archaeological observations and recording during the redevelopment of 2b-2c Salisbury Street on the edge of the historic core of Dorchester. The archaeological investigations revealed the remains of a three metre wide flint and chalk wall base that is probably part of the Roman town defences. The wall footing was cut through an infilled coombe running down to the river Frome. A small number of small medieval pits and a larger number of post-medieval pits were found across the site.’
