Field system W of Fore Hill is a late prehistoric field system located in Dorset, England. The monument comprises a network of agricultural field divisions that date to the Iron Age period, representing the organised management of arable and pastoral land in southern Britain. The field boundaries are defined by banks and ditches characteristic of Iron Age agrarian practice, and their layout reflects the settlement patterns and land use strategies of this era. The site contributes to scholarly understanding of prehistoric agricultural organisation and the development of the landscape in Dorset during the Iron Age.
