Full Description
A series of parallel linear ditches are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs of Charlestown taken in 1946 (1). They are considered likely to be the remains post medieval or modern drainage ditches. These features were digitally plotted during the South West Rapid Coastal Zone Assessment Survey (Dorset). They are not visible on the most recent comprehensive aerial images available to the project, this area having since been built over by modern devlopment.
