Abstract/Summary
Terrain Archaeology carried out archaeological observations and recording during groundworks associated with alterations to the layout of the main drive and the construction of a ha-ha at Highdon House (formerly known as Nethercombe Farm). The line of the new section of drive crossed an Iron Age dyke (Scheduled Monument Dorset No 670). Though the earthwork was rather flattened and spread, a layer of soil was observed which may have been part of the earthwork. No other finds or features were recorded.
