Description
A watching brief was carried out by Terrain Archaeology during the construction of a new water main along Durngate Street, east of the junction with Icen Way in Dorchester in May 2002.
A small area of probable Roman road gravels was observed 13m east of this junction. The orientation of the road could not be determined but the observed remains were just to the southeast of a site where Roman road gravels, thought to be part of a north-south street, were seen in 1976 (1). These are likely to be part of the same road.
