Earthworks on site of manor house is a scheduled ancient monument located in Dorset that preserves the physical remains of a former manorial settlement. The site comprises earthwork features indicative of medieval or later domestic occupation, including the ground plan and surrounding landscape elements that once constituted the manor house complex and its associated lands. Such earthworks provide evidence for settlement patterns, land use, and the evolution of aristocratic residences during the medieval and post-medieval periods. The precise dating and phasing of the site's occupation requires archaeological investigation, though the earthwork form itself documents a significant stage in the landscape's residential and administrative history.
