The field system on Seldon Hill is a scheduled ancient monument consisting of earthwork remains of prehistoric and Romano-British date located in Dorset. The site preserves evidence of strip field cultivation and associated boundary features that reflect patterns of land organisation and agricultural practice spanning several centuries. The earthworks, visible as banks and ditches, indicate successive phases of field management and reorganisation characteristic of settlement activity during the Iron Age and Roman periods. This monument provides valuable archaeological evidence for understanding rural economy and land use in Roman Britain and the immediately preceding Iron Age period.
