Monument record MDO5036 - Enclosure, Tarrant Keyneston

Crop mark of a square enclosure identified from air photos. Possibly associated with the prehistoric field system recorded in this area. The feature is visible as a cropmark on an aerial photograph dated 2000 and was digitally plotted from this source during the Dorset Middle Stour AIM Project.

ST 916 057 (FCE) A rapid examination of air photography suggests the presence of a rectangular enclosure (a: ST 916 057) adjacent to linear earthwork ST 90 NW 28, and apparently related to field system ST 90 NW 31. On the other side of the linear feature is an apparent second, rectilinear, enclosure (b: ST 916 057). <1>
