Monument record MDO45213 - Possible Bronze Age round barrow, Tarrant Rawston
Please read our guidance about the use of Dorset Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
A sub-circular feature is visible to the east of Tarrant Monkton as a cropmark on aerial photographs. The feature may be a plough levelled Bronze Age round barrow. It lies south of a row of four similar features recorded in the NRHE as possible barrows or alternatively geological dolines. Interestingly, the parish boundary between Tarrant Monkton and Tarrant Rawston makes a short dogleg around the group of features, perhaps suggesting they were once more extant, and potentially raising the possibility for a Bronze Age barrow cemetery. The feature was digitally plotted during the Dorset Middle Stour AIM project.
