Description
Cotswold Archaeology undertook an archaeological evaluation of the route of the proposed Corfe Mullen to Salisbury Water Transfer Scheme between July and December 2012. A total of 47 trenches were excavated in Dorset.
Trench 71 was located to the north of the proposed new Pimperne Pumping Station. It measured 30m by 1.8m. It was excavated across a discrete positive geophysical anomaly (part of 212). A pit containing Beaker pottery corresponded to the geophysical anomaly. [1] [2]
The record for this event has been created with support from Wessex Water.
