Linear boundary and section of Roman road, 550m south east of Ashmore Farm is a scheduled ancient monument comprising a Romano-British road and associated linear boundary feature located in Dorset. The site preserves a section of Roman road infrastructure from the early imperial period, demonstrating the systematic development of transport networks across Roman Britain. The linear boundary element suggests land organisation and territorial definition contemporary with or subsequent to the Roman road's construction and use. The monument's survival as a visible archaeological feature makes it significant for understanding Romano-British settlement patterns, communication routes, and land management practices in the county.
