SDO21246 - Land off Park Hill, Charlton Marshall, Dorset. Magnetometer Survey Report

‘A geophysical survey, comprising detailed magnetometry, was carried out by Archaeological Surveys Ltd within an area of former 19th century parkland at Charlton Marshall in Dorset. The survey located a curvilinear anomaly which appears to be related to an oval enclosure ditch. A number of tree plantations associated with the parkland are depicted on 19th century mapping and this has a similar shape and dimensions to those mapped features; however, it is not recorded on mapping. It is, therefore, not possible to determine if it relates to an associated or similar feature, or if it is a much earlier ditched feature. Other anomalies relate to former boundary features, some of which are associated with linear banks and terraces within the site.’
