'Group (77), p120: Sutton Hill and Bareden Down (Fontmell Magna, Iwerne Minster, Sutton Waldron).
'Celtic' fields appear formerly to have covered much of the summit and the slopes of the Chalk escarpment in these parishes. Subsequent destruction has left dis-continuous areas of remains, all levelled by ploughing except on the steeper slopes, and visible only on air photographs.
Air photographs show 'Celtic' fields … To the S. further remains are detectable on Sutton Hill, between 877157 and 892157, and on the steep slope overlooking Coombe Bottom (876160). … Air photographs: CPE/UK 1934: 4324-6; CPE/UK 2038: 4082-3'.
