Abstract/Summary
Wessex Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation in the garden of Southfield House, Dorchester, before redevelopment of the site as as sheltered housing.
Initially a series of machine cut trenches were excavated across the site; following exposure of the archaeological features a larger area was opened up to facilitate their excavation by hand in one selected area.
A sequence of ditches, banks and burials belonging to the Roman town were examined
