Work is under way on the Roman aqueduct on the outskirts of Dorchester.
Dorset County Council has started to clear scrub and repair parts of the ruins.
Workers started by clearing an area of scrub from the west side of Fordington Bottom – the valley through which the western part of the Dorchester bypass runs, between the Monkey’s Jump and Charminster roundabouts.
The aqueduct runs along the south side of the Frome valley from a source near Frampton.
The work involves the clearance of scrub and erosion repairs on hillforts and other earthwork sites. The aqueduct project, and the Dorset Monument Management Scheme, are supported by funding from English Heritage.
The work is taking place on Duchy of Cornwall land.
