The Roman Town House in Dorchester was discovered as a result of excavations taken place during the 1930s. What lay beneath the ground, was the history of another time, Roman Times from around the 4th century AD. Today, this amazing Roman Town House is preserved, and available for anyone to see, free of charge, at any time of year.
The Roman Town House is in the grounds of County Hall, very close the the town centre and many of the relics found from the excavations are still on show in the Dorset County Museum
