Abstract:		 This survey involved the interpretation, transcription and recording of all significant archaeological features seen on aerial photographs at and in the immediate environs of the 'henge enclosure' known as Mount Pleasant on the outskirts of Dorchester, Dorset. The survey followed observation of previously unrecognised features visible on photographs taken in 2003, as part of English Heritage's annual aerial reconnaissance programme. Assessment of historic photographs in the National Monuments Record (now English Heritage Archive) collection at Swindon demonstrated that many of these 'new' features had been photographed before, but that despite the significance of the site, and the amount of work undertaken in the vicinity over the years, no systematic analysis of the aerial photographic evidence had ever been undertaken. Among the key features discussed are additional entrances into the henge enclosure, evidence for external ditches, enlarged or heightened banks, and a possible approach linking the enclosure to the River Frome, along with a number of previously unrecognised ring ditches outside the enclosure.
