Abstract/Summary
A watching brief was carried out by Terrain Archaeology during the construction of a new water main along Durngate Street, east of the junction with Icen Way in Dorchester in May 2002. A small area of probable Roman road gravels was observed 13 m east of this junction. The orientation of the road could not be determined but the observed remains were just to the southeast of a site where Roman road gravels, thought to be part of a north-south street, were seen in 1976. These are likely to be part of the same road.
