Full Description
Two linear ditches are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs of Lanehouse, Weymouth (1). They are located to the south of the partial remains of a possible late prehistoric enclosure (MDO29821). It is possible they could potentially be the remains of trackways associated with this enclosure. Alternatively they may be trackways of historic origin. These features were digitally plotted during the South West Rapid Coastal Zone Assessment Survey (Dorset). They are not visible on the most recent comprehensive aerial images available to the project, having since been built over by modern development.
