Monument record MDO37313 - Linear ditch, possibly part of a prehistoric enclosure, Winteborne Kingston

A linear ditch is visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs taken in 2005. A narrower ditch runs parallel to the south, and appears to be associated. Possibly of late prehistoric date. The features were digitally recorded from aerial photographs during the Dorset Middle Stour AIM. They are considered likely to be part of a large enclosure or field, possibly contemporary with the features described in MDO37313.

Appears to have a terminal at the eastern end, but the western end is less well defined. May be part of a larger feature extending to the west. The cropmark is about 112 metres long, as seen on aerial photographs. It appears to have a terminal at the eastern end, but the western end is less well defined. The narrower ditch to the south, which runs parallel to and appears to be associated with this one, is approximately 8 metres away. Both may be part of a larger feature extending to the west. The features were digitally recorded from aerial photographs <2> during the Dorset Middle Stour AIM. They are considered likely to be part of a large enclosure or field, possibly contemporary with the features described in MDO37313.
