Please read our guidance about the use of Dorset Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
An irregular enclosure is visible as a cropmark on air photographs. It features a northwest facing entrance gap, and numerous pits are also visible. An apparently unassociated linear is visible running northwest-southeast. The linear feature MDO45830 appears to cut across, and thus post-date, the enclosure.
