Woodcutts Settlement

Woodcutts Settlement is an archaeological site of the late Iron Age and Romano-British period on Cranborne Chase, England.

Before excavation, there was a roughly circular enclosure, defined by a low bank with an external ditch, about 300 feet (91 m) in diameter.

[4] Originally, in the early 1st century AD, there was a roughly circular enclosure about 300 feet (91 m) in diameter, with wide entrances, and trackways leading away.

In the second phase, during the late 2nd century AD, the three outer enclosures were built, one on the west and two on the east, of which one contained two corn-drying ovens.

[1][2] Other sites on Cranborne Chase excavated by Pitt Rivers include the Martin Down Enclosure, Rotherley Down Settlement, South Lodge Camp and Wor Barrow.
