Misc. Earthwork in Dorset

From Pastscape: "A grass-covered earthwork consisting of a bank which averages 5.0m wide and 1.2m high, with a ditch on the north side which averages 4.0m wide and 0.5m deep. The height of the bank and the depth of the ditch vary considerably along its length. Not defensive but of the cross-ridge type, possibly associated with the dykes at the settlement to the north."
