EDO7008 - Long Crichel Project; aerial photograph interpretation 1997

A 1:2500 scale, level 3, photogrammetric survey was carried out by the Aerial Survey Section of the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England (RCHME) in the vicinity a two enclosures and a linear ditch at Long Crichel, Dorset, ST 984 109. The northern of the two enclosures is visible as a series of elongated pits or causewayed ditches and was therefore considered to be possibly Neolithic in date, possibly a mortuary enclosure. This present survey was therefore carried out as part of the Industry and Enclosure in the Neolithic Project which was set up by the Cambridge field office of RCHME. The main objective of the survey was to produce an accurate plan of all archaeological features in the vicinity of the enclosure. The survey was carried out by computer aided rectification using the AERIAL software published by the University of Bradford. Field control was obtained from current edition OS 1:2500 plans (ST9810). Residual errors recorded were no greater than 1.5m.An accompanying report detailing photographs used, site location and history and a full description of the features plotted was produced as well as an inked interim plan.
