Abstract:
A considerable corpus of archaeological evidence was identified, including a number of extant or former prehistoric funerary monuments, some protected as Scheduled Ancient Monuments. Numerous other less prominent monuments and areas of prehistoric/or Roman settlement were identified within or adjacent to the study area. Medieval and post-medieval remains were more limited, although traces of former lynchets were identified. The site also contained the large sub-circular trace of the former Blandford racecourse used between 1603 and the mid-late 19th century. There were a number of military remains including WW1 practice trenches and WWI structures including an air raid shelter. [Au(abr)]
