Overview

History & significance

A multi-period landscape is situated approximately 600 metres south-east of Langford Farm in Dorset, England. The site comprises an Iron Age or Romano-British settlement together with an associated field system, six bowl barrows, and an enclosure, representing sustained human occupation and land use across several centuries. The bowl barrows, characteristic funerary monuments of the Bronze Age and Iron Age periods, indicate earlier ceremonial activity on the landscape, whilst the settlement and field system demonstrate the intensification of agricultural practice during the Iron Age or Romano-British period. The combination of these features provides archaeological evidence for the evolution of settlement patterns and territorial organisation within this part of Dorset over an extended chronological span.
