Full Description

A rectangular feature is shown against the parish boundary between West and East Lulworth on the OS 1st edn 25in map (1889) (1). The 2nd edn (1902) (2) shows the rectangular feature as a structure marked 'Tk', for Tank. A semi-circular hollow immediately to the W may be an earlier dewpond. The features are likely to have been used to water grazing stock.
