Full Description

Linear features are visible as earthwork ditches on aerial photographs of Wytch Farm (1). They are considered likely to be the remains of drainage ditches and trackways of probable historic date. These features were digitally plotted during the South West Rapid Coastal Zone Assessment Survey (Dorset). They do not appear to be visible on the most recent comprehensive imagery available to the project (2), most probably having been plough-levelled.
