Monument record MDO39369 - Medieval settlement, Catmead, Mill Street, Puddletown
Please read our guidance about the use of Dorset Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
Archaeological evaluation in 2001 and subsequent excavation in 2004 revealed ditches aligned roughly east-west, interpreted as possible boundary ditches which also served for drainage. Post-holes, a pit and concentrations of medieval pottery suggested possible medieval settlement in the area, possibly on higher ground later occupied by a post-medieval earthwork enclosure. The various features spanned a date range from late 11th to early 14th century, though most were 12th to 13th century. A single piece of Cheddar-type pottery of late Saxon date was found.
