By a Crystal Brook: Early Riverside Settlement and a Medieval Chapel at Sutton Poyntz, Dorset
Mick Rawlings
Description
This volume describes the results of several stages of archaeological work resulting from plans to construct a new water treatment plant utilising the springhead or the River Jordan at Sutton Poyntz, a village at the foot of the chalk scrap near Weymouth, Dorset. Human activity in the area, since at least the Mesolithic times, has focused on the river. Its post-medieval history revolved around its water mills. Evidence for an Early Iron Age settlement, including at least one round-house, and Romano-British activity, including infant burials were recorded, partly beneath a thick colluvial deposit. A rectangular, stone-founded building has been identified as a 13th–14th century chapel probably belonging to the Poyntz family estate.
