Summary
A long straight and regular linear banked feature to the west of Corfe Mullen is visible as earthworks and cropmarks on a 1945 aerial photograph and on current Environment Agency lidar imagery. The feature extends southeast to northwest across several historic fields for over 600m and appears to run below the historic field boundaries.
