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.
