Monument record MDO29379 - Possible post medieval extractive pit , Lulworth Cove, West Lulworth
Please read our guidance about the use of Dorset Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
A linear pit is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs of Lulworth Cove. It is considered possible this could be the remains of a post medieval extractive pit. Its close proximity to an Iron Age defensive enclosure (MDO8257), however, means that an earlier date for this feature cannot be ruled out either.

Full Description
A linear pit is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs of Lulworth Cove (1). It is considered possible this could be the remains of a post medieval extractive pit. Its close proximity to an Iron Age defensive enclosure (MDO8257), however, means that an earlier date for this feature cannot be ruled out either. This feature was digitally plotted during the South West Rapid Coastal Zone Assessment Survey (Dorset). It is still visible as an earthwork on the most recent comprehensive aerial image available to the project.
