Full Description
A group of parallel linear ditches are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs of Charlestown taken in 1947 (1). They are considered likely to be the remains of post medieval cultivation marks. These features were digitally plotted during the South West Rapid Coastal Zone Assessment Survey (Dorset). They are not visible on the most recent comprehensive aerial images available to the project, as this area of farmland has since been built over by modern devlopment.
