Abstract/Summary
‘A magnetometer survey of 2.2 hectares of land east of Wimborne Road, Corfe Mullen has recorded a couple of magnetic responses that have been interpreted as being of possible archaeological interest. Two parallel trends have been tentatively interpreted as the Shapwick to Poole Roman Road, based largely on the documented evidence Numerous uncertain responses have also been detected in the survey; the majority are likely to be due to agricultural or natural processes; however, archaeological origins cannot be entirely discounted. Several former field boundaries plus tentative ridge and furrow cultivation are also visible in the plot.’
