SDO12565 - Archaeological Evaluation of a Proposed Redevelopment of Land at West View Filling Station, 193 Charminster Road, Bournemouth, Dorset

The archaeological evaluation of the area for a proposed jet wash facility at the site comprised the excavation of two 1m trial pits. Two former barrows are recorded in the area, one of which probably lay partly within the boundary of the present filling station. No trace of an earthwork associated with the barrow was found, but evidence for a buried soil indicates that there is still potential for subsoil deposits from the barrow ditch, but associated service trenches may cross areas where archaeological deposits survive.
