Monument record MDO49815 - Undated terrace, Hanford House, Hanford

A shallow sub-rectilinear hollow to the east of Hanford House is visible as an earthwork on Environment Agency lidar imagery. The feature is of uncertain origin, possibly a garden terace or earlier house platform, or perhaps a 20th/21st century feature. It is contained by a modern fenced enclosure, but does not appear clearly associated with this. It was digitally plotted during the Mid Dorset Downs AIM project.
