Description
Excavations carried out in 2009 as part of wider investigations by Oxford Archaeology in advance of construction of the Weymouth Relief Road, constructed 2008-2011 by Skanska Civil Engineering and Owen Williams to replace a 7km stretch of the A354 running from the Ridgeway to Manor Roundabout, Redlands. This excavation formed part of a mitigation based upon several phases of archaeological assessment. Evidence of Roman activity was recorded.
