The enclosed Iron Age farmstead and associated field system located 215 metres west of New Barn in Dorset is a substantial example of later prehistoric settlement infrastructure dating to the Iron Age period. The monument comprises an enclosed domestic area alongside remnants of the contemporary field system that supported agricultural production, demonstrating the organized land use and farming practices characteristic of Iron Age communities in southern England. The enclosure and field boundaries, visible as earthwork features in the landscape, provide evidence of the spatial organization of Iron Age rural settlement and the integration of domestic and productive spaces within the wider agricultural landscape. This site contributes to understanding the settlement patterns and economic strategies of Iron Age Dorset during the final pre-Roman centuries.
