An archaeological evaluation on land immediately to the north of the Dorset County Council maintenance and repair depot, Charminster. Nine trenches totalling 150m in length were machine excavated across the site, some targeting anomalies identified during earlier geophysical survey, while others were positioned to provide representative coverage. No archaeological features were identified, although small quantities of prehistoric, Romano-British and post-medieval finds were recovered from topsoil and subsoil contexts.
