Misc. Earthwork in Dorset

Remains of an Iron Age or Romano-British field system north of Dorchester, west of Cerne Abbas.

Best viewed from a distance. Pulling off the Dorchester - Yeovil road, there's a wide space for entrance to a field, with good views to the south east. No public access to the fields concerned, as far as I know.
