Abstract/Summary
The Trust for Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Wimpey Home Holdings Ltd to carry out an archaeological evaluation in the garden of Southfield House, Dorchester, before redevelopment of the site as sheltered housing. Initially a series of machine-cut trenches were excavated across the site; following the exposure of the archaeological features a larger area was opened up to facilitate their excavation by hand in one selected area. A sequence of ditches, banks and burials belonging to the Roman town were examined.
