Full Description
A series of parallel linear ditches are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs of Southlands, Wyke Regis, taken in 1947 (1). They appear to respect the modern field pattern and are considered likely to be the remains of post medieval 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 development.
