Earthworks on the site of a manor house is a scheduled ancient monument located in Dorset, England, comprising the surviving archaeological remains of a medieval or post-medieval manorial settlement. The site preserves earthwork features including ditches, banks, and platform foundations that indicate the former layout and structures of the manor complex. Such earthworks represent an important record of domestic settlement hierarchy and land organisation during the medieval period, providing evidence of the physical and social infrastructure of manor houses before later destruction or abandonment. The survival of these earthwork features allows archaeologists to understand the spatial arrangement and development of manorial sites without invasive excavation.
