SDO9461 - An Archaeological Evaluation of a Proposed Development at Station Approach, Dorchester, Dorset

An archaeological evaluation on the site of a proposed vehicle hire depot was carried out by AC Archaeology in April 1996. The investigation comprised the recording of three small trenches in the immediate vicinity of the proposed new buildings and parking areas. All the trenches displayed a high degree of truncation, and comparatively recent made ground was shown to exist directly over natural subsoil. No archaeological deposits were present, and the limited number of artefacts recovered were either residual or of late date.
