Monument record MDO39857 - Historic field boundaries or trackways, Gussage All Saints

A series of ditched linear features are visible as cropmarks in a field to the northeast of Amen Corner, Gussage All Saints, on aerial photographs of 1975 and 2002. The features may be associated with historic field boundaries or trackways, although some or all may alternatively be older features associated with Iron Age to Romano-British settlement activity to the north. The features were digitally plotted by the Dorset Stour NMP project.

A series of ditched linear features are visible as cropmarks in a field to the northeast of Amen Corner, Gussage All Saints, on aerial photographs of 1975 and 2002 (1-3). The ditched linears run southeast to northwest and are broadly aligned with historic field boundaries shown on the OS 1st Edition map. It is likely that the features are associated with historic field boundaries and/or trackways, although some may alternatively be older features associated with Iron Age to Romano-British settlement activity (MDO32395 and 32402) to the north. The ditched linears are located within a modern cropping field and may be vulnerable to ploughing. The features were digitally plotted by the Dorset Stour NMP.
