Monument record MDO6382 - Lynchet, Wimborne St Giles
Please read our guidance about the use of Dorset Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
South eastern end of a positive lynchet characterised by the presence of a mound at either end. Note that MDO44635 represents the north western half of the lynchet with its own associated mound. Presumably part of a field system. Was recorded by Grinsell in his gazetteer of bowl barrows but described by him as "apparently one end of a positive lynchet". Both "mounds" had previously been marked on Ordnance Survey maps as "tumuli".
