  • Signalling and Beacon Sites in Dorset
    THE DORSET DIGGER THE NEWSLETTER OF THE DORSET DIGGERS COMMUNITY ARCHAEOLOGY GROUP No 43 December 2016 Signalling and Beacon Sites in Dorset Richard Hood has kicked off this new project. He needs somemorevolunteerstohelpwith the research Introduction The ability to send or receive a message over a distance to warn of impending attack has been used to mobilise troops for defence since the Roman times. The Romans developed a system using five flags or torches to carry a simple message over short distances. This was usually used in battle to pass information out to army commanders. To carry a simple message further, a bonfire was used set on a high point, usually from a mini fort within vision of one or more other sites. This type of warning system was used during the invasion of Britain, when vexation forts could come under attack from tribes yet to be persuaded of the advantages of Roman living. Near the end of the Roman occupation signal stations were employed on the East and South coasts to warn of Saxon pirates. Roman signal stations on the NE coast of England took the form of mini forts, with a ditch and bank for defence. Black Down in Dorset, excavated by Bill Putnam and re examined by Dorset Diggers in 2016 is of this type. The Saxons appear to have had a system of inter divisible beacon sites to warn of Viking attack from the ninth century onwards. Later, beacons were erected to warn of the approach of the Spanish Armada, followed by a similar, but unused system, to warn of Napoleonic invasion.

Marshwood and Powerstock Vales Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper1, Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention3, we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future. 1 The Natural Choice: Securing the Value of Nature, Defra NCA profiles are working documents which draw on current evidence and (2011; URL: www.official-documents.gov.uk/document/cm80/8082/8082.pdf) 2 knowledge.

  • West Dorset Sites
    DORSET AONB BUILT ENVIRONMENT ASSESSMENT: JOHN WYKES WEST DORSET SITES LCA22 BRIT VALLEY Location & landscape setting This area runs for 15kms from the sea, at West Bay, up the flood plain of the River Brit, through Bridport, to Netherbury and Beaminster. It is a contrasting corridor of developed coastline; reedy lower reaches of the river; the large town of Bridport (with distinctive green spaces along the river running into developed areas); an inland landscape of rounded hills; and Beaminster, attractively set in a bowl of higher hills, below Buckham Down and White Sheet Hill. The mature parkland of Parnham House abuts Beaminster on its southern edge and forms a fine entry into the town. Settlement form & pattern: The corridor contains the largest settlement in the area, Bridport, which grew as a route centre, market and industrial town (notably for rope, cordage and net production); it is nucleated around a former market place and shows evidence of a Saxon and medieval planned layout; West Bay developed from a small fishing hamlet to the port for Bridport and, from the late 19th-century, as a small pleasure resort; it is still nucleated around the Harbour but has spread north on the West Bay Road and up onto West Cliff; Pymore, to the north of Bridport, was a self- contained industrial complex, related to the processing of flax and the manufacturing of rope and net and is nucleated around its mill; Netherbury is a small, nucleated village at a minor route centre on a river crossing; Beaminster is a small market town, nucleated around its Square, again at a route centre of the main north- south road (A3066) and the east-west B3163 and several minor routes to the surrounding area; it has grown along several road ribbons but is constrained to the south by the proximity of Parnham House; DRAFT 1 DORSET AONB BUILT ENVIRONMENT ASSESSMENT: JOHN WYKES Edges of settlements are influenced by historical and physical factors.
