EDO5415 - Northern Lights, Shaftesbury; watching brief 1993

AC Archaeology conducted a watching brief during the digging of foundation trenches for a new building north of Bimport, Shaftesbury during 1993. The upper levels of a substantial but undated ditch were revealed, aligned NW-SE and continuing the line of Abbey Walk. This may represent the continuation of a large feature revealed during the redevelopment of the Savoy Cinema site during 1986. This feature may be the ditch of the Saxon burh [1].
