Monument Number 210028
Hob Uid: 210028
Location : Dorset Gussage St. Michael
Grid Ref : ST9710012800
Summary : Traces of "Celtic" fields recorded on air photographs to the north of the southwest terminal of the Dorset Cursus (Linear 41). Although not mentioned in the RCHME Dorset Inventory, the later Bokerley Dyke volume notes traces of "Celtic" fields centred on circa ST 972132. This is slightly north of the grid references noted by the Ordnance Survey, who appear to depict the field traces slightly further south and overlapping the Cursus. Their relationship with the multiple ditched linear ST 91 SE 41 is unclear.
More information : Field Systems: Taken from Air photo's in Jany-March 1949 by R.J.C. Atkinson. (1) [Centred at ST 9730 1265]. (2) [Area centred ST 97081255] No trace of lynchets. (3)
