Full Description
Richards, J, 1992, Watching brief and excavation at Milborne St Andrew, Dorset, L1 (Unpublished document). SDO12395.
'L1 runs north from the northern rampart of Weatherby Castle for a distance of 300m before merging with a modern field boundary. The feature appears to be a ditch and makes two “dog-leg” turns suggesting that the linear may be bounding a “Celtic” field system.'
