The earthwork remains of a turf mizmaze located 250 metres south-east of White Hall Farm is a medieval recreational feature situated in Dorset. Mizmazes, also known as turf mazes, were elaborate labyrinthine patterns created by cutting or raising turf to form winding paths, and served as both entertainment and possibly ritual purposes during the medieval period. The surviving earthwork at this location preserves the distinctive undulating ground pattern characteristic of such features, though the exact date of construction cannot be determined with certainty from the surviving remains alone. This monument represents an important example of medieval landscape design and recreational culture in southern England.
