Full Description
A circular banked enclosure, possibly part of the group of earthworks known as Studland Circles, is visible as an earthwork on lidar imagery of 2010 on Godlingston Heath, Studland. The earthwork is formed of a partial, circular, banked enclosure, measuring approximately 40 m in diameter. (1) The date and function of the Studland Circles is unclear but excavation work carried out on one of the circles in 2009 suggested that they may be post medieval in origin. (2) Further groups of circles are located to the north and east (see linked parent record). This feature was digitally plotted during the Wild Purbeck Mapping Project.
