Linear boundary and section of Roman road, 550m south east of Ashmore Farm is a scheduled ancient monument comprising a Roman road and associated linear boundary feature located in Dorset. The Roman road represents part of the regional road network that served the Romano-British landscape during the Roman occupation period. The linear boundary, which runs adjacent to or is integrated with the road infrastructure, reflects the organisation of the surrounding landscape in Roman times. Both elements survive as earthwork features and constitute significant archaeological evidence for understanding Roman settlement patterns and territorial organisation in this part of Dorset.
