Monument record MDO48364 - Iron Age to Roman field system, Barnes Lane, Alton Pancras

Areas of later prehistoric fields to the south of Barnes Lane, Alton Pancras, are visible as earthworks on Environment Agency lidar imagery. The features are considered likely to be part of a wider field system of probable Iron Age to Roman date, which incorporates some areas of possible medieval strip lynchets recorded under MDO48363. The features were digitally plotted during the Dorset Upper Cerne and Piddle AIM project.
