Abstract/Summary
A watching brief was carried out during January 1993 at the former Ricardo's Yard, Alfred Place, Fordington, Dorchester (SY 69829039). Site levelling and the excavation of foundation trenches for a new housing development were observed. The monitoring revealed a complex of ditches and several pits, none of which contained any diagnostic artefacts, but are considered likely to be prehistoric in date.
