Monument record MDO46178 - Later prehistoric enclosure, Winterborne Strickland
Please read our guidance about the use of Dorset Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
An oval ditched enclosure of probable later prehistoric date is visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs to the west of Lady Caroline's Drive at the east end of Winterborne Strickland. It appears to have a double ditched trackway running along it's northern edge and is associated with several large amorphous features which may be pits of contemporary date. This is possibly the site of a prehistoric settlement and it was digitally plotted during the Dorset Middle Stour AIM Project.
