Dorset Cursus submitted by JimChampion on 2nd Apr 2005. Looking NE along the course of the Dorset Cursus from Gussage Hill to Bottlebush Down. The cursus banks no longer remain in this 3 km section so their route has been sketched out in white. In the foreground is the grassy remains of Gussage Down settlement, in the centre the Bronze Age round barrows on Wyke Down.

Dorchester, Tudor Arcade

Site Type: Timber Circle
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 10th Sep 2010
Dorchester, Tudor Arcade submitted by TimPrevett on 3rd Nov 2003. When in Dorchester, I just had to check out the report in Bill Putnam's book "Dorset: The Prehistoric Age" that there were red markings in Waitrose Car Park, Dorchester, denoting sites of larger timber posts, which formed part
of a timber circle. Quote "parts of a large timber circle have been
discovered surrounding a projected area of around 380 metres in diameter.
Apparently some 600 mature oak tree trunks would have been required for its construction. A radiocarbon date for it is about 210...

Site Type: Barrow Cemetery
Country: England (Dorset)

Maiden Castle Barrow Cemetery submitted by JimChampion on 26th Jul 2005. Looking north at the most prominent barrow of the cemetery, from the edge of the Maiden Castle visitors' car park. The barrow can also be seen from the nearby Dorchester by-pass, a few weeks earlier I was passing by and the barrow seemed to be stood amid a sea of blue cornflower.

Poundbury
Date Added: 20th Feb 2011
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 13th Sep 2010
Poundbury submitted by JimChampion on 5th Jun 2005. Looking south across the Frome valley at the ramparts of Poundbury hillfort. You can see its rectangular perimeter in this composite picture - no wonder the Romans liked the site. Parts of modern Dorchester can be seen poking out e.g. the keep-like military museum is on the left. (The line in the sky is a power cable that I couldn't get away from).

Log Text: maybe my experience was coloured by the nearby combine harvester and having just visited a much nicer site a short distance away but this site felt scruffy and with the nearby wetland drained there was a feeling of it being out of context and mis-placed
