Dorset dig finds pre-Roman settlement

A pre-Roman town of 150 roundhouses has been found by university students during an archaeological dig in Dorset.

The discovery of the town lying along a hill-slope near Winterborne Kingston has been described as ‘extremely significant’ by archaeologists who said that what had been found was ‘one of the earliest and largest open settlements in Britain.’
