Full Description

A linear ditch is visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs(1-2) taking an irregular course to the northeast and east of Didlington Lodge, Chalbury. It is considered likely to be of prehistoric (or Roman) origin and was digitally plotted during the Dorset Stour NMP. At its southern end, the feature appears to be double-ditched, it may therefore be a trackway. It is similar to the features described in MDO3721 and MDO40078. A short fragment of ditch to the east may be contemporary with this feature.
