Monument record MDO30772 - Modern military training site, Seven Barrows, Wareham Town

A group of trackways and slit trenches and a possible building foundation are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs to the south-west of Seven Barrows Farm, Wareham Town. They are considered likely to be remains of a First or Second World War military training area. This area has since been levelled by modern quarrying.
