Field system in Old Park is a prehistoric agricultural landscape located in Dorset, England. The monument comprises relict field boundaries and earthworks that represent a system of land division and cultivation from the Bronze Age or Iron Age period. The field patterns, visible as banks and lynchets in the surviving topography, demonstrate the organization of arable and pastoral land management characteristic of later prehistoric communities in southern England. Such field systems provide evidence of settlement patterns, agricultural practices, and the economic basis of Iron Age societies in the region.
