Listed Building record MDO5857 - Iron Age enclosure at Lodge Farm, Pamphill
Please read our guidance about the use of Dorset Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
The National Trust acquired Lodge Farm as part of the Bankes Estate in 1981. Archaeological work carried out as part of the refurbishment of the building revealed parts of a large ditch of Iron Age date, associated with post-holes and pits, and a packed gravel surface containing fragments of Iron Age pottery and burnt flint. These features were interpreted as an enclosure, and a post-pit found under the cross-passage of the farmhouse suggested that an entrance to the enclosure was situated there.
