Monument record MDO30177 - Undated mounds, North of Roundabout, Wareham St Martin
Please read our guidance about the use of Dorset Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
A group of four roughly oval mounds are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs of fields just to the north of Roundabout. They are of uncertain date and funtion. Their close proximity to a Second World War military site (MDO30174) suggests they could be associated with it. Alternatively they may be natural geological features.
