Monument record MDO5655 - Double disc barrow, Gussage St Michael
Please read our guidance about the use of Dorset Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
A monument interpreted as a double disc barrow depicted on a plan published by Warne (1872). However, the plan itself cannot be regarded as a reliable indicator of the location of the recorded feature. Certainly no trace of a barrow or ring ditch has been noted at the approximate location.
