Field system on Green Down is a prehistoric agricultural landscape situated in Dorset, England. The system comprises a series of cultivation terraces and field boundaries that represent evidence of ancient farming practices, likely dating to the Iron Age or earlier prehistoric periods. The monument demonstrates the way in which communities shaped and managed the land for agricultural purposes over extended periods, leaving a visible archaeological record of field organisation and land tenure. Such field systems are valuable for understanding settlement patterns, land use, and the development of agricultural societies in southern Britain during antiquity.
