Excavations at Poundbury Farm and Poundbury Parkway, Dorchester, Dorset
recorded a series of pits containing a variety of Neolithic artefacts
including one which contained a group of flint axe roughouts and another
containing a substantial deposit of grain. Middle and Late Bronze Age
field systems, pits and possible roundhouses and a number of cremation
burials were identified. A small farmstead and associated field system
of the Roman period included ovens/kilns and grain driers and was
accompanied by small groups of burials, including Durotrigian burials
and another in a stone coffin.
