EDO1189 - Southern Railway's Ballast Pit, Corfe Mullen; salvage recording 1942

"A mechanical digger was working at an alarming rate during October and November last, and it is fortunate that one of our members, Mr. R. E. Burt of Poole, was able to visit the site from time to time. It is due to him that we have preserved some of the pottery brought to light, and are also in possession of information concerning some at any rated of the pits and hut-sites encountered. A good section of a pit is visible in the face of the gravel pit at the present time, and nearby I found a portion of the upper stone - the hollow Catillus - of a Roman mill for grinding corn. " (1)
