Monument record MDO45921 - Cultivation marks of late prehistoric or medieval date, Bloxworth

Cultivation marks, which may be associated with an Iron Age/Roman settlement or may be later in date, are visible as cropmarks on Bloxworth Down.

Cropmarks of probable later prehistoric curvilinear enclosures in an accreted formation, some defined by ditches and others by lines of closely placed pits forming a funnelled entrance. Within these pit defined enclosures are numerous dispersed pits. Further curving ditches can be seen to the south of the main enclosure complex. These features are visible at SY 8516 9930 on aerial photographs taken in 2015 as part of the Historic England Reconnaissance Recording Programme. <1>
