Monument record MDO23170 - Prehistoric enclosure, Blandford Forum

An irregular, roughly rectangular feature is visible as a cropmark on an aerial photograph on Google Earth and was interpreted as a possible enclosure, most likely to be prehistoric in date. The ditched features were digitally plotted during the Dorset Middle Stour AIM Project; they were interpreted as the remains of at least two enclosures with associated field boundaries.
