Trackways, field boundaries and pits, possibly associated with a nearby settlement of later prehistoric to Roman date (see MDO30667), are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs of 2004 to the south of East Woodsford. The features cover an area measuring approximately 485 m by 356 m and consist of a number of trackways or field boundaries oriented approximately east-west and south west-north east. Numerous small pits, possibly either used for extraction or storage, are distributed within and around the other features. (1) Another area of trackways and pits, possibly associated with this site and the settlement to the north, are located nearby to the north east, to the east of Watery Lane (see MDO30668). This feature was digitally plotted during the Wild Purbeck Mapping Project.
