Monument record MDO30036 - Historic or modern trackways, Hyde Heath, Bere Regis

A group of linear ditches are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs, running predominantly northeast-southwest across the south-eastern edge of Hyde Heath. They are considered likely to be the remains of historic or modern trackways. Although this area has since been built over by a modern golf driving range, some of the trackways are still visible.
