Monument record MDO37135 - Natural feature, Sherrings Green, Puddletown
Please read our guidance about the use of Dorset Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
Ditches recording during archaeological work in 2001 in advance of determination of a planning application for housing development. These were interpreted by the excavator as a circular feature of Middle Bronze Age date possibly the remains of a round barrow, though in an unusual location of such a monument, or a small hengiform monument. Further evaluation in 2015 showed these to be periglacial features.
