SDO15994 - Black Down Archaeological Survey and Investigation

A survey was carried out of the extant archaeological and historic landscape features on Black Down on the South Dorset Ridgeway. The survey recorded sites dating from the Bronze Age to the 20th century including a linear earthwork interpreted as a newly recorded Late Bronze Age cross ridge dyke, a track linking two extensive areas of prehistoric field systems, a sub-rectangular enclosure of late prehistoric date, a medieval pond and numerous post-medieval stone quarries.
