Type and Period (1)
Full Description
Post medieval trackways are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs running roughly north south from Stoborough Heath to Creech Heath (1-3). They are cut by and therefore clearly predate the Swanage Branch Railway opened in 1855. They are still visible as earthworks on recent Google Earth imagery and were digitally plotted during the Wild Purbeck NMP.
