Penannular ditched enclosure, 150m south of Turner's Farm Barn, is a prehistoric monument located in Dorset, England. The site comprises a roughly circular or oval earthwork defined by a ditch, with a characteristic gap or opening in the circuit that gives the enclosure its penannular form. Such monuments are typically associated with Iron Age settlement patterns, though similar enclosures may date to the Late Bronze Age or later prehistoric periods. The earthwork survives as an upstanding landscape feature and remains an important record of local prehistoric occupation and land use patterns.
