This report publishes the 1937-8 excavations in Colliton Park,
Dorchester, Dorset, which revealed one of the best preserved late Roman
town houses so far discovered in Roman Britain. Extensively decorated
with mosaics, the building has recently been re-displayed in a new cover
building by Dorset County Council. In addition to the town house and its
mosaics, the report publishes the surrounding buildings in the
north-west quarter of the town, also mostly of late Roman date, and
associated occupation along with an extensive collection of artefacts,
including outstanding finds of coins, glass, iron and Kimmeridge shale.
