Full Description
A group of curvilinear bank and ditched features are visible as earthworks and cropmarks on aerial photographs (National Monuments Record 2000) and Lidar imagery (Geomatics 2011)) of a field to the north-west of Rollington Farm, Corfe Castle. It is considered probable these could be the remains of medieval trackways and hollow ways. These features were digitally plotted during the Wild Purbeck Mapping Project.
