Full Description
A cut feature (67002), aligned roughly north-south, was found in Evaluation Trench 67 during the investigation of the proposed route of the Corfe Mullen to Salisbury Water Transfer Scheme in 2012. It had a V-shaped profile with three fills derived from natural weathering and silting.No finds or dating evidence was recovered. It is unclear whether this is a pit or a ditch. Its profile seems to suggest a linear feature but it appears to correspond to a discrete positive geophysical anomaly. [1][2]
