SWX8355 - Bearwood Junior School, Poole, Dorset. Archaeological Watching Brief. August 1994

A watching-brief was maintained by Wessex Archaeology in July 1994, during soil stripping to prepare a playing field at Bearwood Primary School, Wheelers Lane, Poole, Dorset (NGR SZ 04559675). A pattern of linear features was noted and interpreted as part of a field system previously recorded at the site. The system had previously been dated to the late Iron Age and early Romano-British period on the basis of a field system known immediately to the west at White's Pit. The discovery of Late Bronze Age finds in the current work suggests that these field systems may not all be contemporary.
