Monument record MDO37397 - Round barrow west of Muston Down, Winterborne Kingston

Aerial photographs taken in 2005 show a dark circular cropmark around 15 metres in diameter. This is interpreted as a ring-ditch and the probable remains of a Bronze Age round barrow. This monument is also visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs taken in 2015 as part of the Historic England Reconnaissance Recording Programme. The barrow mound is visible as low earthworks on lidar imagery and was digitally recorded during the Dorset Middle Stour AIM.

No internal or associated features could be discerned. <1>
