Compact Steep Spectrum Sources (CSS) have projected linear sizes < 20 kpc and overall steep spectrum (5 ∼ v −α, α ≥ 0.6). Interactions with a dense interstellar medium may confine the CSSs and produce the high amounts of Faraday rotation that some distorted sources present. The first results of a detailed study of the multifrequency polarization properties of a sample of CSS sources with MERLIN and the VLA are presented.
