SDO15018 - Binnegar Quarry, Southern Extension, Wareham, Dorset. An Archaeological Evaluation

‘The evaluation has shown that previous use of make-up layers and geotextile sheet has been effective in protecting the Battery Bank scheduled monument. The work also identified historic rutting on top of the possible residual bank material and a massive ditch, presumably the original quarry ditch for the bank’s construction, which had been re-cut on a small scale parallel to its northern edge. No dating was found for the ditch and re-cuts, nor for the construction of the bank or its subsequent breaching.’
