EDO6039 - Hoburne Farm, Christchurch; evaluation 2013

Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Turley Associates on behalf of Hoburne Ltd to undertake an archaeological trial trench evaluation on land at Hoburne Farm, Christchurch, Dorset, centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) SZ 1920 9430. A total of eighteen trial trenches were positioned across the site to assess its archaeological potential prior to the proposed development, their location informed by the results of the previous geophysical survey. The evaluation confirmed the presence of a low background level of prehistoric worked flint and a series of shallow ditches which appears to be associated with post-medieval field systems, although no evidence of significant archaeological features was found.
