SDO9457 - Motor Project Building, Dorchester. Proceedings of the Dorset Natural History and Archaeological Society

A watching brief was carried out by Wessex Archaeology on behalf of Dorset CC during the excavation of foundation trenches and a vehicle inspection pit for the Motor Project Building, Little Keep, Dorchester. Four Machine strip trenches and a 3m x 1.5m inspection pit revealed no archaeological features or finds. In each case mixed topsoil, hardcore and demolition waste overlay clean chalk with some signs of disturbance relating to power and drainage pipes. A brick lined soakaway, probably of 19th century date was also identified.
