Abstract/Summary
A short interpretive article drawing together disparate information on various sections of prehistoric ditches situated within the triangle of land between Maiden Castle, Poundbury Camp and Mount Pleasant.
The author suggests that these, largely undated and relatively short and discontinuous lengths of ditches, may be tentatively linked together to form the basis for a Late Iron Age territorial oppidum.
